    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    I think the Automated decision-making aspect is more for things like being refused a loan application or something like that, not anything to do with decisions made by judges.

    D&D General What’s the Real Hellfire Club?

    Reminds me of the song "Kinky Boots" recorded in 1964 by Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman :-)

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    I wonder which of the jurisdictions are encouraging the use of AI for decision making. It also seems to me that the Objector mentioned in the Guardian article is running into the same issues with hallucinating cases. In England and Wales any KC caught using such a system like ChatGPT rather...

    King Kubrick: Ranking Stanley's Best Films
