    Good God. I mean using AI for a brief is one thing, despicable enough, but using AI fabricated testimony should absolutely be grounds for disbarment. At minimum a count of contempt for every instance of fabricated testimony.

      Worse: it shows that he didn’t study the original case. He tossed it all in ChatGPT and assumed that it’s output was correct.

      You didn’t read the article.

      He’s being referred to a disciplinary committee. He will probably get a suspension for a period.

      Also why should the defendant of the case have the case thrown out because of the attorney’s conduct?

        Because they hired that attorney? They should have to start over and hire a different attorney. They can sue the original attorney if they didn’t know anything about the deception.

          lol, you: he should have to suffer grave criminal punishment because his lawyer showed a lack of ethical behavior

          You really have not thought this through

            Starting over because you had flawed representation is hardly a punishment.

            He should start over because he can hire someone who is actually competent this time. It’s basically a do-over.

              You really understand nothing but act so confidently. Learn to experience empathy and read deeply into subjects before commenting. You know, like Chairman Mao says to do.

      It doesn’t seem like that would be fair for his client. Fine the lawyer, or hold them in contempt. That’s how it’s supposed to work. If it continued or was a purposeful intent to mislead, rather than carelessness, then, certainly refer to bar or jail.

      Rules about ai need to catch up. Until people in general are more familiar with hallucinations and lack if hehe I in AI, it wouldn’t be just to hold people more accountable for its failures beyond other tools. It should be treated the same, just as other misinformation and misleading statements have been in the past.
