A New York law firm has been slapped with a $5,000 fine after one of its attorneys used OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT, to write a court brief littered with false case references. The legal action was filed on behalf of a passenger who said he was harmed during an Avianca flight by a metal serving cart. Court filings revealed that the attorney Steven Schwartz fed ChatGPT prompts to help bolster his research, but the prompts resulted in fake cases. The judge in the case criticized Schwartz for not coming clean about his use of the AI tool soon enough and ordered his law firm to send letters to each judge falsely identified as an author of one of the fake opinions.
