An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it. (apnews.com)

All good points but keep in mind the current system is racist

So, even if avatars were allowed to happen tomorrow night... You'd still have a "oh no, the system chose a black person for you, good luck..." Unsolved dilemma

Good food for thought all around

That's why I said that the avatar should be the same for all court cases. Let's say Microsoft Office Clippy, though it could have been a stick-man or Bob Ross.
