Two lawyers from Levidow, Levidow & Oberman were fined $5,000 and lost their case after using an AI chatbot called ChatGPT to research court filings that cited six fake cases invented by the tool. Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca abandoned their responsibilities when they submitted non-existent judicial opinions with fake quotes and citations created by the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, according to Judge Kevin Castel. The lawyers were also required to send letters to six real judges who were falsely identified as the author of the fake opinions cited in their legal filings. The lawsuit, Roberto Mata vs. Avianca, was originally filed in a New York state court but was moved to US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The judge granted Avianca’s motion to dismiss the case and described the legal analysis in one of the fake cases as gibberish. ChatGPT is made by OpenAI and has been used in legal research.
