Unusual: a Colombian judge consults ChatGPT to rule

A judge caused a stir in Colombia by announcing that he used the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to rule on a case concerning an autistic child, we learned Thursday from concordant sources.

"This opens up immense prospects, today it could be ChatGPT, but in three months it could be any other alternative to facilitate the drafting of legal texts on which the judge can rely", declared Judge Juan Manuel Padilla, on local radio. "However, the goal is not to replace the judges," he stressed.

In a Jan. 30 ruling, he ruled on a mother's request for her autistic son to be exempted from paying for medical appointments, treatment and transportation to hospitals, as the family lacked the resources. funds needed to pay them.

Mr Padilla ruled in favour of the child and indicated in his judgment that he questioned the chatbot ChatGPT to render his decision. "Is the autistic minor exempted from paying moderation fees for his therapies?", asked the judge, according to the transcript of his decision. And the app replied, "Yes, that's correct. Under Colombian law, minors diagnosed with autism are exempt from paying moderation fees for their therapies. "

I see. They intend to replace the judges. Interesting.

The judges will still get paid. They just won’t have to work.

So what’s the big deal?

We’ve seemingly had that here for decades at the top levels.

Programming judges over long haul will be cheaper.

Better (more clickbait-y) headline:

Guess who are being replaced by machines next?

As an artificial intelligence model, I don’t have personal opinions, emotions, or a moral compass. I was designed to respond based on patterns in the data I was trained on, and I can provide information and answer questions to the best of my abilities based on that training data. However, I don’t make value judgments or ethical decisions. It’s up to the people who use my responses to determine the morality or ethics of the information I provide.

I have very serious concerns about the future need for much human labor. Everyone knows that the burger flippers will be replaced by machines. The cashiers will just become kiosks. If they get the driverless cars right, then truck drivers (a huge category) go away. People see those as somewhat "low-end" jobs. But white collar jobs are in trouble. Lawyers, judges, insurance, office work, bureaucrats. Machines are going to be able to do a lot of that work.

What happens when 200 million Americans bring nothing to to the table? Do we send them home? They don't have to work, but they still get paid?

And what happens to the 50 million Americans who have skills that cannot (yet) be done by machine? They have to work? They get the short end of the stick? They may want to sit at home and wait to get paid -- but no! -- they have skills. So it's off to the office for them to work that ol' 9 to 5 that most of humanity has escaped. Sucks to have skills.

The whole world will be upside down. And oh by the way, the bored people at home will burn down cities just for some excitement.

Yeah. When men are not working, they turn to evil desires. Ditto for women not taking care of kids or with no responsibilities.

God will step in at some point. You can call either tough love or wrath.

Yeah, the "data it was trained on" is a significant problem.

Donald Fagen called it:

A Just Machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellas with compassion and vision

We’ll be clean, when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Several years ago, I saw an article describing AI. The author said that once it is perfected we wouldn't need God.
