New Mexico lawyer fined for using AI-generated brief containing fabricated testimony
(www.theguardian.com)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
It doesn't seem like that would be fair for his client. Fine the lawyer, or hold them in contempt. That's how it's supposed to work. If it continued or was a purposeful intent to mislead, rather than carelessness, then, certainly refer to bar or jail.
Rules about ai need to catch up. Until people in general are more familiar with hallucinations and lack if hehe I in AI, it wouldn't be just to hold people more accountable for its failures beyond other tools. It should be treated the same, just as other misinformation and misleading statements have been in the past.
