If AI can find the holes in programming code, it can do the same with legal code, paving the way for chaos.

Felix Ringe, a visiting fellow at Stanford Law School’s liftlab and legal scholar, suggests large language models (LLMs) have become potent enough that they could break legal systems by identifying exploitable inconsistencies at scale.

...

the ability to discover adversarially useful inconsistencies in the law in an automated way risks overwhelming the legal system's ability to bridge the gaps.

No. Just, no.

The premise of this article is just way off base.

If AI suggests a behavior, to a person or group of people, that is legal, then how do the courts gets overwhelmed ? It's a lawful actvitity.

If AI suggests an illegal behavior, then we have the same situation we have now. The perp gets caught or he doesn't.

If anything, AI should likely end up helping with case backlogs.
