In response to my two-part series (1, 2) on what to do with AI-generated scholarship, my good friend and former colleague Daniel Solove writes in with a question/comment:
What's the difference between you here and a judge? A judge directs legal opinions and puts their name on them, so aren't they doing the same thing, just with a human writer vs. AI?
Claude is just a law clerk.
Fair questions. I disagree, because I think the norms of authorship for legal opinions and scholarship are different.
