That is why Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Milton C. "Hardcase" Hardcastle (an eccentric judge notorious for being strict with the law in both his duties and towards defendants) employs Mark McCormick (a smart-mouthed, streetwise car thief) to help him to bring justice to those that escaped it the first time around.

Can you teach a machine to clean my toilet. That's something I don't need in my life as a man.

We make tools to extend our abilities, to further our reach and fulfill our aspirations.
But we must never let them define us. For if there is no difference between tool and maker,
then who will be left to build the world.

A machine should never be elevated to a position of authority, for it cannot be held accountable. To paraphrase the IBM training manual from 1979.

And not being accountable is why it has been promoted to management...
