Law isn't written to cover 100% of real life scenarios and potential cases, it's written with deliberate parts of ambiguity, that will ultimately be up to courts to set the precedents for, in various situations and context.

I think the idea is that you can't really cover 100% of real-life cases in "code", either legal or software, so the areas you'll leave this out of would be those "not-entirely-strict" parts.



The same can be said about driving but self-driving cars exist.


So is the "bitter lesson" that fuzzy overlords will be practically preferable to hand coded legislation?
