Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.
elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe avatar is an unnecessary distraction. Can the video be just audio? Use that. Can the video be audio and text? Use that.
Plus if plaintiffs and defendants can sometimes get away with certain outcomes because of what they look like (this has been studied and observed), imagine criminals using cute little teens that happen to look like the judges’ kids to argue the case.
I’d say a compromise would be that the avatar be the same for all court cases; chosen by the court system. I’d be sort of okay with this.
And the whole AI destroying the planet part is a topic for another moment.

All good points but keep in mind the current system is racist
So, even if avatars were allowed to happen tomorrow night… You’d still have a “oh no, the system chose a black person for you, good luck…” Unsolved dilemma
Good food for thought all around

That’s why I said that the avatar should be the same for all court cases. Let’s say Microsoft Office Clippy, though it could have been a stick-man or Bob Ross.
