The defendants challenged the order in the state’s high court, pointing out that the cited orders were fake. The high court acknowledged this, but accepted that the junior civil judge had made the error in “good faith” and went on to agree with the trial court’s decision anyway.

This is a recurring and troublesome pattern in AI use. Institutions and individuals trying to dodge responsibility like “It turned out to be wrong but I can’t be held responsible that it was wrong.”

You don’t get to blame the AI for this. You’re the human, and the buck stops with you.

We need to set strong precedents that people are always the ones responsible for outcomes, not AI. If we fail to do this, there will be no accountability for anything.

I suspect that the current US administration is excited for AI for two reasons:

  • they are bumbling idiots.
  • they will have something to blame when they fuck up.

We have long had a culture of those who only know the basics of how technologies work blaming the tech when things go wrong, or as a scapegoat for user error or intentional user decisions. These schemes and lies rely on assuming other people involved don’t understand the tech well enough to mount a rebuttal.
