Like you Joshua, I rely entirely on my tired old brain (well mine is anyway) to write articles in what I hope is clear, simple English. I use basic AI for research only, and even then check the sources. I once got co-pilot to look at a piece I had written but concluded in my arrogance that I could write better so I ignored all its suggestions! I would be very wary of any judgment that had been even partially drafted by AI

Kate has said it all. Are not judges expected to be educated, literate, clear thinking, organised and articulate amongst other qualities? Any judge who has used AI (for any purpose) should be expected to disclose that in his judgment.

Is it desperately naïve or utopian of me to hope that judges might be able to call on the resources of their own brains when "improving grammar, clarity and structure of self‑written examples;

identifying key themes or strengths in the content already written; assessing a self‑authored draft for coherence and identifying narrative gaps; and summarising long documents that the candidate has personally authored."?

Is it unduly pessimistic to think that potential judges who choose to outsource these vital aspects of thinking might be ill-suited to the role?
