At this point, everyone should understand that every single thing a public AI “writes” needs to be vetted by a human, particularly in the legal field. Lawyers who don’t understand this need to no longer be lawyers.
(On the other hand, I bet all the good law firms are maintaining their own private AI, where they feed it the relevant case histories directly, and specifically instruct it to provide citations to published works and not make shit up on its own. Then they validate it all, anyway, because their professional reputation depends on it).
I think it would be quite reasonable for any lawyer who files something that includes references to case law that doesn’t exist to simply be disbarred.
The courts are backed up enough without having to deal with this bullshit. And it shows clear lack of concern for properly representing their client
