An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.

All good points but keep in mind the current system is racist
So, even if avatars were allowed to happen tomorrow night... You'd still have a "oh no, the system chose a black person for you, good luck..." Unsolved dilemma
Good food for thought all around
That's why I said that the avatar should be the same for all court cases. Let's say Microsoft Office Clippy, though it could have been a stick-man or Bob Ross.

The judge was angry that this guy was pretending to have speech issues so he can use her courtroom for free publicity for his AI tool business, watch the entire video, don't just read a click bait headline

Using AI to be your voice when you have trouble articulating something you want to say has to be one of the best uses of the technology I have seen to date. It makes me wonder what other uses this tech could have, especially for people who are neurodivergent or disabled.
In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we've had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn't an AI use case.

Thank you sir. They play the video clip for a few seconds, and then she tears into him. Worth it.

Yeah honestly I don't see a problem with this. If it's his own words why does it matter if it's AI speaking or himself? Even if it's not his own words, he could just as easily say the same shit on camera, why does the person in the video needs to be him?
why does it matter if it’s AI speaking or himself?
Because he's advertising his AI product in the courtroom. He was present in the courtroom as well, and he lied about having a "speech impediment" to get his AI on screen in the courtroom.
That's the issue here.

You can either represent yourself or claim you can't communicate and need assistance. You don't get to claim to represent yourself and then demand they let you have an AI representative. Just hire a lawyer to represent you, that's what they are literally there for.

Please also see people who need employees to assist with the touchscreen ordering and self-check. If you want to talk to a person, please use the line for talking to a cashier.

Seems like the mistake here was surprising a judge in their courtroom.

Yes, I did read it. I'm guessing you did not. if you had, you would know why he used the AI video. This was a very constructive use of AI that not only didn't hurt anyone, but helped someone with a problem.
They didn't have a problem that needed the AI to help. Unless the problem was "how do I get free advertising?". This other comment has the timestamp and video (https://sh.itjust.works/comment/17839497), and the judge specifically says that the defendant has been in that court many times before, and now that they have an AI business, suddenly they have a problem and need the AI, without informing the court of the "need" for such a tool.
