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.

Or we can allow these worst of the bottom feeders to keep getting caught and cull the legal system of their ilk. When you're giving ambulance chasers a bad name, you done messed up, A-A-ron.

The obvious answer is that an AI checker will check citations for their authenticity in the future. The judges will have the checker and so will the lawyers. Westlaw will provide the system or they will go out of business. That's the future.

Westlaw has a system called co counsel - the biggest issue is the searches are not privileged as a lawyer you risk much asking AI and the client? Risks it all

I've spent all morning dealing with the fact that you can't fire most of the people who make our systems work and expect them to work.
It's not just government; our computer systems aren't functioning as well as I have been learning this week. If you fire the people who knew how the current program worked, and properly notified you of any changes or actually improved the program or service without screwing it up, you don't end up with late fees because the due date changed to a week earlier! You don't get denied access and worry unnecessarily you've been hacked! Alert! The latest "incompetence" is requiring you to change a password after a certain time without telling you when that time will be!
