I'm not surprised an AI could do well in a test like that which is (presumably) a regurgitation of case law and precedents that it has "learned". Then again, when I try to write Javascript code with AI, both chatGPT and claude (emerging as the hottest new AI for developers) do a shit job of it. They confidently deliver code that they assure me will do what I asked - and I deliberately made the request simple - and it inevitably fails. When I point out that the code doesn't work, the AI readily admits that fact and quickly offers me a revised solution that doesn't work either. On and on it goes with each solution utterly failing to work. After the third or fourth attempt to clean up the original solution, you realize that it is going in circles, retrying the same things that have already failed.
I don't think I'd want to put my life and liberty in the hands of an AI. Real courts don't give you a lot of do-overs. Even if they did, you can only follow one failing strategy after another so many times before everyone agrees that you've lost the case.
