Just because something is considered "unethical" doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal. My guess, is that by building software no one is really going to question the ethics... In one sense the legal system should be devoid of anything but facts. So as along as a machine doesn't intentionally falsify information (which idk how it could), then it's not unethical.
- pdabbadabba 9y ago> Just because something is considered "unethical" doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal. In the legal profession it sort of does. Lawyers are regularly fined or disbarred for violating ethics rules, and the ethics rules are typically enforced by the courts.
- bradleyjg 9y agoI was using a term of art without being clear that's what I was doing. "Unethical" as I was using it means in violation of the state bar Rules of Professional Conduct. Such violations aren't just a matter of being discourteous or something, they subject lawyers to professional sanctions up to and including being disbarred. As for non-lawyers, practicing law without a license is a crime in most states. This is much more an issue of illegal than unethical in the colloquial sense of the word. My apologies for the confusion.
