A lawyer who used ChatGPT to help him prepare a court case has had to apologize after it was found that the chatbot had invented some of the information.
There’s been much talk in recent months about how the new wave of AI-powered chatbots, ChatGPT among them, could upend numerous industries, including the legal profession.
Related The airline, Avianca, asked the judge to dismiss the case, so Mata’s legal team put together a brief citing half a dozen similar cases that had occurred in an effort to persuade the judge to let their client’s case proceed, the New York Times reported. Schwartz told the judge he had not used ChatGPT before and “therefore was unaware of the possibility that its content could be false.”
Looking at what he described as a legal submission full of “bogus judicial decisions, with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations,” and describing the situation as unprecedented, Judge Castel has ordered a hearing for early next month to consider possible penalties.
