Very amusing Steve Lehto video (It's funny because this asshole isn't
your lawyer) in which a lawyer files a brief filled with AI-hallucinated
case law. When opposition objects, his answering brief is filled with
even more AI-hallucinated case law.
A married couple in Georgia separates in 2022; the wife moves away. In
2023, the husband files for divorce but without making any effort to
learn of his wife's whereabouts, he serves her by publication. This is a recourse available only after all other attempts to locate the person to
be served have failed.
He gets the order for divorce a few months later. She counters to have
the order set aside for lack of service. Court refuses based on the
husband's brief citing two irrelevant cases and two more that were
ficticious. The whole thing was prepared by AI. To answer the answering
brief, the husband files yet another AI-written brief citing 11 cases
that were either inapplicable or ficticious.
Even though the judge couldn't have recognized the ficticious cases, he
doesn't bother to look them up.
On appeal, the husband's attorney, who caused the whole mess, seeks
legal fees for the appeal.
Appeals court recommends that the husband's attorney be sanctioned for
filing frivolous briefs.
