Another lawyer got caught hallucinating in court.
Attorneys are obviously not getting the point as more and more of these incidents of malpractice pop up. Heavy fines or suspensions will get their attention.

They literally teach you in law school to check all your citations and diligent attorneys always have because they don’t want to be accused of misleading the court. The fact an attorney would let AI draft a brief and not check the citations is mind boggling.

Haven't met many attorneys, have you?
I submitted this the other day with the intention of it being a comment posted regarding your AI thread. Hmmm. I even included the audio/video link. It's nice that you found a way to use it.
Just wait 'til your doctor starts treating you with text straight out of AI...with the required footnote, of course: "AI may make mistakes".

It takes way longer to check AI's legal work than it does to just do it yourself. I learned this firsthand.
AI can crank out garbage in seconds that requires hours to verify.
Prepare the pleading using AI in two minutes; bill client 3 hrs.
I actively practiced law from 1984 to 2020, and I wouldn't have dreamed of filing any pleading or brief that I didn't personally research, write, and proofread. I also always printed hard copies of all my citations for the client file and in case I had to argue my position in court. That's what real lawyers do.
The way to stop this is for the courts to require every attorney to provide the court with complete copies of all cited cases, authorities and laws.
@9:55 Your grandkids may not even even go see a human doctor. They will either live in a true dystopia where the malevolent cold machines dictate our lives.
Or they may be lucky and get a Star Trek TNG type utopia where a pretty red head is still your doctor but she goes into her office to “consult” with the computer for a collaborative diagnosis.
