You missed the end of the article's title: "‘My Cousin Vinny’ Script Actually Got More Accurate As It Went To The Screen **(And Litera Can Prove It)**" The article is more like an advertisement for a legal AI tool than anything else. Basically, the legal AI tool compared the draft script to the filming script and found the legal differences. This is something any competent lawyer could have figured out. I guess someone is going to say that "Litera AI did it quicker," and that's right, but no competent lawyer is going to rely on a legal AI, which means the competent lawyer would be reading both scripts anyway (in this legal example). So, at best, the legal AI makes sure the lawyer didn't miss anything, but there's no guarantee the legal AI didn't miss anything either.

It’s simple really, eliminate labor by doubling it somewhere else! Or maybe even the same place! You don’t wanna make millions, that’s fine, I’m writing my check. One life savings for *two months* of Litera AI Premium, read it and weep

I have a copy of the script because my dad was friends with the writer. Was my favorite movie as a kid. Marisa Tomei was my first crush. I was a young bland midwesterner she was amazing.

I think I had a stroke reading that headline.

The shooting script was more technically accurate than an earlier draft script. The title is… ok.

Which makes sense given director Jonathan Lynn has a law background.
