- twoodfin 3y ago"As often as" in colloquial English doesn't mean "with exactly the same frequency as". Typically it means (and I meant): "with at least the same frequency as". This, by the way, is the kind of non-mechanical, subjective analysis judges and juries are expected to perform all the time.
- jncfhnb 3y agoOk sure but judges are famously biased so that’s dumb. Suppose it were a voluntary option. What happens when Black people prefer AI judge over the white judge? How often are we really asking about empathy for a situation vs empathy for social privilege?
