Frankly I don’t care, I’ll take human judges any day, because they have something AI does not: flesh and bone and real skin in the game.
Real skin in the game is also known as bias. That's an example of something a judge should not have.
Not really. Ultimately it's just a job and a job without any tangible benefit to doing well.
Most regular folk that end up in front of a judge would do well to have a quick and predictable decision. It's months to years before things happen in court and are usually gated behind 10s of thousands in legal fees or a ton of effort. To have a judge bot available for a decision immediately is enormously beneficial.
From the perspective that models are trained by people with a lot of skin in the "game" of competent models, they do.
Not expressing an opinion when/how AI should contribute to legal proceedings. I certainly believe that judges need to respond both to the law and the specific nuances that the law can never code for.
