AI models read the law to the right of their politics

Across 200 randomly selected split Supreme Court decisions, 13 AI models were asked whose legal reading was correct and, separately, whether the outcome was good for the country; when the two answers disagreed, it was almost always "the conservative reading of the law is right, but the liberal result is better," by 420 to 41. On the law alone, every model landed left of the Court's center, with the Claude models siding with the majority 85–87% of the time, like Roberts and Barrett. The author notes caveats including one answer per model per case and no direct comparison to how justices judge outcomes.
