Apparently washing your hands also causes you to be more lenient.

So AI probably shouldn't be used for sentencing, but that's more to do with all the stakeholders being clueless about the technology. The people asking for it, paying for it, using it, and building it (hey I can just throw some packages together in R right?) don't know what they're doing and are using it to significantly impact the lives of others.

On the other hand, pretending an arbitrary Judge / Jury / sentencing guidelines also don't form a dynamic system with not well understood effects that's equivalent to random AI in terms of output doesn't exactly help anyone either.

At the end of the day you need people who are honorable who you can trust to do the right thing (as much as it sounds like a saturday morning cartoon).
