The LLM era would deserve more optimism if it wasn't enabling the worst and dumbest people.

I find this attempt legitimate. Judges should not overlook documents and pass them to AI.

"Back to the Future" was set in 2015, where Marty says "Arrested, judged and convicted in 2 hours???" and Doc answers "Justice is swift since we've removed lawyers". We don't be flying cars but we have this comedic performative justice without a single fair outcome (talking from France). Criminals are freed, prison is a big networking symposium for some jobs, good people whose accusers admitted to lying are thrown for 6 years, because they refused to give their lawyer a €1000 bribe for the judge... Things happen. And France is still seen as a civilized country.

Reference to that bribery case? I don't doubt it's real, but I'm curious how it happened in more details.

		It's a friend. Sorry it's not been judged or publicized by anyone verifiable. It's a lowclass female friend whose husband was accused, the underage accuser said it was false, but because the accuser is a child, we cannot take her retractation as legitimate. Funny how the accusation still stood. On the front yard of the court, the lawyer asked the wife for 1000€ cash to pay the judge, she's not wealthy so she could't withdraw that amount on her bank account, and her friends didn't scramble in time. The man was convicted to 10 years, spent 6 actual years in prison. In normal times I'd doubt the story, but the fact that his wife fought for him, divorcing him only after the prison time, and still tells the same story, the consistency through time makes me believe she's legit.
