You gotta have something other than a magic wand to wave her. How would this be done? Who implements it? What do we consider? What technology is at work here?
And yeah, humans are predictable. The one thing we can predict is that if you set out rule X someone will systematically figure out how to get around it.
More importantly, one thing we know scientifically is that systems based on extremely predictable rules come up with extremely unpredictable outcomes, and in some cases, mathematically unpredictable.
Trying to figure out, if humans are just organic computers that are highly predictable, WHY we'd need some super-secret magical technological fix to make Law perfect and uninterpretable.
Right, you have to understand why it hasn’t been done. And the answer is that the moment you create rules, you give people the ability to figure out how to get around them.
It’s like water flowing. You can put up a barrier. You can keep water from going into some areas some of the time. You are never going to stop the flow of water or even control it other than imperfectly.
I’m not sure if you saw it, but last night this bulldozer person was suggesting we should automate decisions about whether a defendant needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist before standing trial.
Considering tech right now has the reasoning capability of ..at best...the world's fastest honeybee, I think "can" and "Will happen during the lifetime of the grandchildren of anyone currently living" are very different.

Humans are highly predictable. We're just organic computers that think we're special.
We're not.
Seems like an abacus would do the trick.
Just because something hasn't been done doesn't mean it can't.
Not exactly the strongest argument for your own relevance….
