Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases (www.404media.co)

But the explanation and Ramirez’s promise to educate himself on the use of AI wasn’t enough, and the judge chided him for not doing his research before filing. “It is abundantly clear that Mr. Ramirez did not make the requisite reasonable inquiry into the law. Had he expended even minimal effort to do so, he would have discovered that the AI-generated cases do not exist. That the AI-generated excerpts appeared valid to Mr. Ramirez does not relieve him of his duty to conduct a reasonable inquiry,” Judge Dinsmore continued, before recommending that Ramirez be sanctioned for $15,000.

Falling victim to this a year or more after the first guy made headlines for the same is just stupidity.

Sure. Look llms should be able to help, but only if there's a human to bring meaning. Llms are basically... What's that word.. I'm thinking about it at the tip of my tongue.... Word completion engines. So you think something up and it tells you what might be next. Its not how brains work but its like a calculator is to numbers...a tool. Just learn how to use it for a purpose rather than leat it barf out and answer.
