No surprise there.
So far A.I. needs a lot of direction. Sometimes the smartest guy in the room has to be told what to do. But A.I. needs more direction than a moron. It is a dog begging for a treat.
Many humans also lack self direction but A.I. is a total basket case concerning knowing 'what' to do. It has to be told. Concerning case law, that is a well defined task. Look at anything A.I. is doing successfully. All tasks are well defined.
Indeed. And actually, both the Law programs and the Medical ones were quite good even before the most recent advances in AI, because in both cases the task is very straightforward and well defined, it's just a database search where the user sets the parameters to be searched and the computer crunches the gobs of data available on the specified topics. The main limitation is whether all the data is present to be searched on a computer somewhere on the network. So if the relevant case happens to be something obscure out of 17th century Portuguese maritime shipping law, the computer might not find it because the Portuguese haven't yet taken the records kept on paper books, then photographed and dropped on microfiche into .pdfs stored on the portuguese 1990s era IBM mainframe they are still using. lol. Some crusty old maritime lawyer might know it and remember it from a case he won 40 years ago though. I do think though every last case heard in a British Commonwealth country or Amerika since the Revolution is probably stored on a Google server somewhere.
