Maybe good to realize that judge/jury system is not how it's done everywhere. For example, here in the Netherlands, there are just lawyers and a judge. There is much less emotional swaying of peers (for better or for worse) the focus is on objectivity according to the law.
No saying it's better or worse, but maybe more suited to AI assistants?
That said, I'm sure ChatGPT can make emotional appeals.

- cudgy 4y agoOne major flaw in jurist system is the deliberation phase where jurists argue with each other and sometimes bully / browbeat / shame one another into voting a certain way. If jurors could simply vote after hearing the case with no group dynamics, it would be more objective.
