Computers can't be better at it by definition. If a computer claims a law says one thing but a judge/court determines the other, the judge wins because the law is a human system.

similar to what the crypto people tried with smart contracts. I can unconditionally have a token that says I own a pizza, but it doesn't mean I own a pizza.

Sure, but a computer may be better than a lawyer at predicting what a judge might say.
