A US lawyer has been fined $5,000 by a district court judge after submitting a legal brief written by an AI chatbot that included fake citations and non-existent quotes. Lawyer Steven A Schwartz had used the chatbot to sue Colombian airline Avianca, believing the citations given by ChatGPT were real but ultimately producing bogus briefs. Schwartz and another lawyer stood by these opinions even after judicial orders had called their authenticity into question. Avianca successfully challenged the lawsuit and the judge ordered the lawyers to notify falsely-identified judges of the sanction against them.
