The Dangers of Using ChatGPT in Legal Proceedings.
TL;DR Summary
A lawyer used ChatGPT, an AI tool, to prepare a court filing for a lawsuit against an airline. However, the AI tool invented court cases that didn't exist and asserted that they were real. The fabrications were revealed when the airline's lawyers couldn't locate the cases cited in the brief in legal databases. The judge has set a hearing regarding the legal snafu and has ordered the lawyer and law firm to argue why they should not be sanctioned.
