Stanford professor paid $600/hr for expertise accused of using ChatGPT
Stanford professor Jeff Hancock, in a court case over banning deepfakes, appears to have made up two journal articles. He is an expert on misinformation.
Hasnain says:
Quite a gaffe from someone who researches misinformation and gave a TED talk on lying.
““The citation bears the hallmarks of being an artificial intelligence (AI) ‘hallucination,’ suggesting that at least the citation was generated by a large language model like ChatGPT,” Bednarz wrote. “Plaintiffs do not know how this hallucination wound up in Hancock’s declaration, but it calls the entire document into question, especially when much of the commentary contains no methodology or analytic logic whatsoever.”
Hancock, who wrote in his expert declaration that he was paid $600 an hour for his expert testimony,”
