> Automatic judgment of law is terrifying. Consider that from the perspective of people that don't have your level of privilege. Minority groups regularly have to fight democratically created prejudices, and human judgment - judges, juries, etc - that has the option to not apply the law is an important safety mechanism.
In other words, are you saying the system might be prejudiced?
But even so, as long as it's less prejudiced than humans (notoriously bad), it'll be better.

Every system has prejudices and biases. > But even so, as long as it's less prejudiced than humans (notoriously bad), it'll be better. I'll take a system that has less prejudice, but first show that it actually is less prejudiced in practice. Non-human systems "bake in" and automate the biases of the creator of the system, and it is very hard to create a system that isn't full of preconceptions, misunderstandings, and bad data.
