If an attorney is letting an AI program do his legal research for him, he should be telling his clients that he lacks the expertise they thought they were hiring him for. The fact that a Judge has to issue such an order is a damning indictment of the legal profession. I fear we are entering the era of figurehead professionals, with the AI running things behind the curtain.

Artificial intelligence is artificial.
I don’t know what to say.
I’m surprised and horrified at same time?!
If the bot gets me jail time it guaranteed I’m taking hammer to his a** later.
AI cannot master critical thinking. There is much talk in all industries how AI will “take over” mankind – and replace jobs. That maybe the case in some industries but until you can get a robot to think like a human and feel like a human then this cannot be the case. A robot cannot think critically. Pray for the future of the human race.
Who or what is going to oil the robot? Another robot maybe? When the oil is gone? Oil rigging?
Artificial Intelligence is a one generation creation
A conscience is a form of self diagnostic. A lot of the woke crowd appear to have great deficits in this regard. Too many act like they are foolproof and incapable of error like HAL 9000. Their mission is too important to allow anyone to jeopardize it. During the pandemic we saw how messed up many of the nation’s school classrooms and teachers are. What kind of value system and safeguards will be programmed into AI?
On Max Headroom most trials were done by feeding a floppy disk with the information on the case into a computer, which would then give a verdict automatically. Given the nature of the show it’s heavily implied that the computer doesn’t give particularly accurate verdicts, but it’s cheap and creates the illusion of impartiality, so that’s good enough for future justice.
More high profile cases are put on a game show, where public opinion directly determines the outcome. Also not too far from reality with the Chauvin case and the like.
Public opinion did not determine the outcome in the Chauvin case, Judge Peter Cahill did, by refusing a reasonable request for a change of venue, refusing to exclude any potential juror for cause, allowing the prosecution to use its peremptories to exclude anyone who gave signs of impartiality, and forcing Chauvin’s counsel to use its peremptories to exclude the worst characters in the jury pool. Since the appellate courts in Minnesota are implicated in the treatment of Chauvin and in the absurdly lenient treatment of Mohammed Noor, the entire Minnesota court system must be deemed worthless until proven otherwise.
