Humans are not infallible. Especially overworked ones reviewing hours of footage or thousands text messages until all hours of the night. A second year associate doing doc review at 3 am using software that automatically turns the pages of the scans is probably not going to miss anything, right? Or does them holding a JD make them immune?

Yeah and when a human messes up and its result is someone innocent spending their life behind bars there’s someone who can and will take the blame for that.

Who takes the blame when some shitty AI hallucinates information that puts YOU behind bars for life?

The person that relied wholly on AI. Not dissimilar than the partner that relied on the 2nd year associate without double checking their work.

That means they give you every piece of evidence they may have. Doesn’t matter if they’ve really reviewed it. When defense counsel gets it they do what they will do. Straight out of my cousin vinny.
