That's a common fantasy of developers who haven't touched grass in a while.

It's a rehashing of Leibniz's "Calculemus!".

It's not a fully stupid idea, many rules can be automated and indeed have already been. The things that courts still have to decide manually are the leftovers that require more human judgment.

  • This pipe dream will soon be replaced by "let's have the first degree of judgment be ChatGPT; human judges should only deal with appeals".

Why is it a fantasy to have a fair system with no room for interpretation?
