"and I see nothing that would imply LLMs can even approach the individualized, case specific and convoluted family dynamics required for custody cases or contested divorces."
Humans are pretty bad at this. Based on the results, it seems the judges' personal views and emotions are a large part of these cases. I'm not sure what they would look like without emotion, personal views, and the case law built off of those.
- SkyBelow 3y agoThe worse judges are at being perfectly removed arbiters of justice, the more room for lawyers to exploit things like emotions and humans connections with those judges, and thus the worse LLMs will be at doing that part of the job. A charismatic lawyer backed by an LLM will be much better than an LLM. At least until the LLMs surpass humans at being charismatic, but that would seem to be its own nightmare scenario.
- staunton 3y ago> At least until the LLMs surpass humans at being charismatic Look into "virtual influencers". Sounds like you should find it interesting.
- staunton 3y ago> judges' personal views and emotions are a large part of these cases That's a completely separate question. We're talking about automating lawyers, not judges. (to be a good lawyer in such a situation, you would need to model the judge's emotions and use them to your advantage. Probably AIs can do this eventually but it's not easy or likely to happen soon)
- giantg2 3y agoWell, judges are a subset of lawyers. And interactions with judges are a large part of being a successful lawyer, as you point out.
