Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

[Dannyalcatraz]

What's stopping them from making a new law that says that all current rules are null and void and just start over with 'make sure people don't get killed by defective buildings' and a short list of valid objections and all made public to both officials and the people in general? This is something I find odd and frustrating with common law, the need to pay attention to thousand years old precedent to the point now people need AI bots to check them all.

Ok, here in my country we still had a Visigothic code of commerce originally made in the seventh century a hundred years ago. But it has been long gone and nobody can use it to make up a case of law today.

Most countries that use common law don’t have significant laws that old that are actually still valid.

And with modern research tools, it’s pretty easy to find it when when which laws were voided, overturned, revised, etc.
