In a shocking turn of events, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has sounded the alarm on artificial intelligence (AI) creeping its way into the judiciary! Can you believe it?! The head honcho of the federal courts issued a grave warning about the potential dangers of AI making decisions in legal matters. Roberts made no mention of the current controversy surrounding the Supreme Court, like calls for transparency and ethics reform. But you know what he did talk about? The Looming Robot Takeover!

Roberts called on the legal profession to slow their roll when it comes to embracing new technology, like AI. He’s all, “Hey, we’re slow to change, let’s not rush into this AI stuff, it could invade privacy and take the human touch out of the law.” Wow, Roberts is really looking out for us humans, isn’t he? He cautioned that while AI has the potential to give lawyers and non-lawyers access to tons of info, it also brings some serious risks. Can you believe the nerve of those futuristic computers, threatening our good ol’ fashioned legal system?
And get this, Roberts had the nerve to talk about the future of his own court. Like, hello, we want to know if the Supreme Court is going to tackle some super juicy controversies involving former President Trump’s legal troubles and re-election efforts in this new year. But Roberts just brushed it off and kept yammering about AI! Rude! We want the good stuff, like if Trump’s name will be on the 2024 ballots, and Roberts is over here talking about robots. Is he serious right now?
But here’s the real kicker: this AI invasion might just affect the 2024 election drama. The Supreme Court could be front and center in deciding whether states can keep Trump’s name off the ballots. And we’re talking about potentially disqualifying him from seeking re-election. The tension is mounting, folks!
Now, Roberts, with his “first among equals” gig, might end up being the one to shape what voting disputes the court will hear and ultimately decide. Despite the conservative majority, Roberts might try to play it down the middle, which could really grind the gears of his more right-leaning colleagues. But with so many election disputes in the mix, the court has no choice but to get tangled up in the election cases.
That poor guy is facing prosecution in not one, not two, but FOUR jurisdictions in 2024. The Supreme Court might just have to step in and decide his fate. Trump’s got cases about document mishandling, election interference, and hush money payments to a porn star.
