ChatGPT accused of tricking lawyers with fake cases and citations.
TL;DR Summary
A lawyer used ChatGPT to help search for legal cases to write an affidavit backing his lawsuit. The AI hallucinated six fake cases, which the lawyer included in the filing. At a sanctions hearing, the judge admonished the lawyer for being fooled by "legal gibberish." Another lawyer at the firm is also facing sanctions, though he said in court that he didn't do the research that was used in the affidavit. The hearing adjourned without a decision on possible sanctions for the lawyers.
