Lawyers confess to fabricating cases with ChatGPT, beg court for mercy

Date:

Two lawyers who used an AI chatbot to generate false cases in order to win a lawsuit have appeared before US District Judge Kevin Castel to explain why they ought not to be sanctioned. The case has caused amusement, not least due to the fact that the chatbot in question was the OpenAI product ChatGPT. The lawyers involved, Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca, submitted a “good faith workaround” using the AI tool as Westlaw and LexisNexis were not available to them. They claimed that the legal mistakes made were inadvertent and so sought an absence of sanctions. However, it is unclear if Schwartz will be punished for ChatGPT’s production of extended excerpts and favourable quotations from fake cases.
