I gotta be a bit of an asshole and say that the Nuremberg trials were very long and very exhaustive on details and accuracy. The idea was that if the trials just brushed over what happened, Nazis would have a reason to rise again, as the German population would have deemed it unfair. Because of this, I’m sure the allies would have gone over the documents in excruciating detail and even if they had an LLM they would’ve never entrusted it with such an important and brittle task.
It’s definitely interesting to think about how LLMs get used in law practice (if legal in your country) but the historic context just dissipates that train of thought about the Nuremberg trials for me.
To be fair I really do think they can take the painful task of outlining something in long winded legalese if given the details and laws, but ofc everything needs to be double checked and the LLM needs to be constrained to exact paragraphs and details.
I like AI when it’s used right and I think ppl underestimate their ability to eliminate tedious tasks, but ofc I understand why AI is hated right now. I really hope we can get to a world where court transcriptions don’t lead to carpal tunnel syndrome because they only have to supervise an AI and not type every word out, or where burocracy gets eliminated for the average overworked citizen.
But yeah tech bros fucked that up for all of us for a while.
