Lawyer Apologizes for Using ChatGPT to File Fake Court Documents

New York attorney Steven Schwartz apologized in court for using ChatGPT to write a legal brief citing bogus cases, which he believed were real. Schwartz used the AI app to find case law to bolster his client's lawsuit, but the bot completely fabricated the cases. He ultimately filed the legal brief citing the fictitious cases, prompting Judge Kevin Castel to haul him into court for a hearing on whether to sanction the firm over the snafu. Schwartz apologized profusely and swore off using the app in the future. The judge said he would rule on whether to issue sanctions at a later date.
