    I saw this site that gives a moral judgment on a given situation and thought it was worth sharing.

    I had some fun testing out some different scenarios and variations (e.g., "A goose stealing gardening implements from humans who have previously bullied it.") and it seemed to work okay-ish.

    As a topic I think it's really interesting. Years ago I had a housemate who was starting law school and the use of AI in law came up a number of times, whether that was the boilerplate of legal documents it was able to do away with, the possibility of it being used as a surrogate (e.g., AI outperformed family members predicting an individuals wishes if they were incapacitated), or something more in the territory of this.

    As a thought experiment: if there was a system that could accurately tell you what the moral judgments of the average member of some demographic would be of some scenario that was fed in, how could that change the legal system?
