Rahmat Wibowo posted an article about AI-generated legal responses containing critical flaws, then used it as a platform to call for a review of a specific individual (Albert Suwandhi) while naming other individuals in what appears to be a defamatory manner.

| just published a research article on
something most people don't talk about.
What happens when someone uses Al to
respond to a formal legal notice — without a
real lawyer?
I witnessed it firsthand in a dispute I'm
personally involved in.
The response looked impressive:
constitutional citations, Latin legal
terminology, peer-reviewed NIH references.
Three languages of authority.
It was, on forensic examination, a near-
complete gift to the opposing party.
Five failure modes | documented:
01. Admitting mens rea while claiming free
speech protection — calling posts "sarcastic
criticism” inadvertently confirmed the
deliberate intent required under Art. 27A UU
ITE
02. Citing Art. 28E (free expression) while
ignoring Art. 28G (right to personal honor) —
half a constitutional argument is worse than
none
03. Deploying accurate science to rebut a
claim that was never made — three bipolar
heritability studies, zero relevance to the
actual legal standard
04. Getting burden of proof half right —
actori incumbit probatio is criminal doctrine;
the civil standard under Art. 1365 KUH
Perdata is different
05. The chronological own-goal — confirming
the posts were never deleted while arguing
there was no ongoing harm
The pattern: Al produces text that is locally
plausible but globally incoherent. Rhetorically
confident but legally catastrophic.

in what it can do. But there is a hard line
between research assistance and legal
strategy — and crossing it in formal
proceedings is permanently costly.
‘Tagging two people whose work sits at the
center of this:
Pramudya A. Oktavinanda— the governance
gap here is real. Al tools generating plausible
legal text without jurisdictional guardrails are
a systemic risk in Indonesia's UU ITE + UU
PDP landscape.
Abhishek Gupta — this case is a textbook
illustration of Al overconfidence without
human oversight. The Indonesian hybrid civil
law context makes the failure modes even
more pronounced.
Brian Finlay — this case is a textbook
illustration of Al overconfidence without
human oversight. The Indonesian hybrid civil
law context makes the failure modes even
more pronounced.
The Stimson Center
Five failure modes in detail, a framework for
responsible Al-assisted legal work, and
practical recommendations for individuals
and organizations.
The algorithm played lawyer. It should not
have.
