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.

Good God. I mean using AI for a brief is one thing, despicable enough, but using AI fabricated testimony should absolutely be grounds for disbarment. At minimum a count of contempt for every instance of fabricated testimony.
Worse: it shows that he didn't study the original case. He tossed it all in ChatGPT and assumed that it's output was correct.
