This is nonsense though. What does "better" mean in this case? A judge is not a black box with an input (the case) and an output (the verdict), the entire point of having a judge is to have empathy, conscience, and personal responsibility built into the system.
It's a blind spot that too many people have because we take those qualities for granted. LLMs unbundle them, so we need to start recognising the inherent value of humans, fast. I wrote a few words about it here: https://dgroshev.com/blog/feel-bad/ https://dgroshev.com/blog/feel-bad/
- jampekka 2y agoIn civil law countries verdicts should not depend on an individual judge's feefees.
- nyrikki 2y agoThey should depend on individual case specifics, which is exactly what PAC learning is bad at.
- dgroshev 2y agoA judgement is by necessity subjective. Have a look at some sentencing remarks, for example this, point 19 forward: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Wayne-Couzens-Sentencing-Remarks.pdf https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Wayne-Co... Someone has to make a call. The weight of the call rests on the person's life experience, their understanding of the context and the cost to the society, their empathy to both the defendant and the accused, and their conscience. Treating it as a black box exercise misses the point completely.
