Two US lawyers fined for submitting fake court citations from ChatGPT
LegalEagle did a video on this case two weeks ago, digging into it in some more depth: <a href="https://youtu.be/oqSYljRYDEM" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/oqSYljRYDEM</a><p>They lied to a judge, doubled down, showed further incompetence by admitting to not knowing how the legal reference they supposedly quoted was even structured, then lied to a judge again trying to get more time to get their story straight, and all it cost them was $5000? And even then they have the guts to say they disagree with the judge?<p>Levidow, Levidow & Oberman must either be run by fools or take the rest of the world for fools.<p>I can understand how the rubber stamping lawyer signing all the paperwork got off easy; he was just signing documents because the lawyer who supposedly did all the work for the case couldn't operate in the court the case was transfered to.<p>The other lawyer, the one who did the AI equivalent from copy pasting from the summary page of Google, should not be deemed fit to practice law.
