AI brings Supreme Court decisions to life

Like it or not, the justices are about to see AI versions of themselves, speaking words that they spoke in court but that were not heard contemporaneously by anyone except those in the courtroom.

Note

watching roberts tell the world the president has almost endless immunity stings, especially as the corruption gets more blatant and damaging.

the history of transparency into the courts conversation is enlightening. and it is unclear if the tradeoffs are worth it despite the benefits.

i do appreciate this use of AI. a different take for "human in the loop" approach!
