ChatGPT's Role in "Bogus" Court Filings Leads to Lawyer Sanctions.
Attorneys Peter LoDuca and Steven Schwartz may face sanctions, including disbarment, after using OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, to generate fictitious legal cases and arguments in a New York federal court filing. The court discovered that the attorneys had cited non-existent cases and quotes, leading to an admission of error. Despite this, the attorneys continued to use ChatGPT to generate false legal decisions when asked to provide them. A hearing has been set for June 8th for the attorneys to explain themselves.
