Re: the Turing Test isn't really appropriate because of its anthropocentric assumptions

"Would be relevant, except the entire article was about using "AI" in an anthropocentric environment."

Fair comment, I suppose. But the question still remains whether a system designed to evaluate evidence in court cases and interpreting the law should do something resembling human reasoning. The massive cost of litigation and the unsatisfactory outcome of many cases may be a simple artefact of people being what they are, but it may be that the brains evolved to look for food and sex and shout at other apes may not be the best way to deal with the complexities of a modern society.
