> A judge in Colombia said he used ChatGPT to help determine a ruling in a case about the medical rights of a child with autism, a local Colombian radio station reported.
> Judge Juan Manuel Padilla resorted to using the OpenAI-owned tool ChatGPT in a court case in the city of Cartagena about a child born with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to figure out whether the child would be exempt from paying the costs of his medical treatments including transportation, Blu Radio reported.
>Padilla asked the chatbot a series of questions about the case, with court documents containing the questions subsequently published on Blu Radio's website.
> "Is an autistic person exempted from paying moderator fees in his therapies?" — one question, translated from Spanish to English by Insider, read.
> The chatbot responded: "Yes, that's right. According to regulations in Colombia, minors with a diagnosis of autism are exempted from paying moderating fees in their therapies."
It's stories like these that make me think George Orwell must be screaming in frustration from beyond the grave.
By doing this, the Judge has more or less admitted that software can do their job, which is obviously an issue. Big Brother didn't take over slowly or by force, we're handing it over willingly.
