I feel deeply uncomfortable with this. Trial by jury is a protection against an over-mighty state using the system of law against those it sees as its political enemies (sound familiar?).
That is not a threat here now but it's a real enough risk it might become one.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
