Can law be formalized as deterministic rules? A French thread argues LLMs unlock the soft cases

A French thread asks why law can't be formalized as deterministic rules, arguing that soft notions like "bad faith" are exactly where LLMs unlock the problem: they weigh nuances and assign weights to each possible qualification, with a deterministic mechanism but uncertain input — like Schrödinger's box. A reply counters that citizens merely want the illusion of determinism.
