Here’s What Happens When Your Lawyer Uses ChatGPT
A lawyer representing a man who sued an airline relied on artificial intelligence to help prepare a court filing. It did not go well.
Hasnain says:
I read about this drama earlier on twitter and now that it’s published with a little more detail and easier to share, here it is in all its glory. It’s even worse than the quote: it made up citations, the court asked the lawyer to clarify - and instead of taking the L then, he decided to ask chatgpt for the transcripts, which it made up. The firm is now in hot water (for good reason)
“Lawyer asked Chat GPT to find cases he could cite in a brief. It invented six decisions, including quotes and internal citations from the imaginary opinions, and when asked if they were real, said yes.”
