Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases (www.404media.co)

But the explanation and Ramirez’s promise to educate himself on the use of AI wasn’t enough, and the judge chided him for not doing his research before filing. “It is abundantly clear that Mr. Ramirez did not make the requisite reasonable inquiry into the law. Had he expended even minimal effort to do so, he would have discovered that the AI-generated cases do not exist. That the AI-generated excerpts appeared valid to Mr. Ramirez does not relieve him of his duty to conduct a reasonable inquiry,” Judge Dinsmore continued, before recommending that Ramirez be sanctioned for $15,000.

Falling victim to this a year or more after the first guy made headlines for the same is just stupidity.

You can specifically tell an ai to lie and deceive though, and it will…

Every time an AI ever does anything newsworthy just because it's obeying it's prompt.

It's like the people that claim the AI can replicate itself, yeah if you tell it to. If you don't give an AI any instructions it'll sit there and do nothing.

The latter is the actual definition. Some people not knowing what words mean isnt an argument

Sure it is. You can define language all you want, the goal is to communicate with each other. The definition follows usage, not the other way around. Just look up the current definition for literally...

I would fall into the latter category. Lots of people are earnestly wrong without being liars.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Me, too. But it also means when some people say "that's a lie" they're not accusing you of anything, just remarking you're wrong. And that can lead to misunderstandings.

Yep. Those people are obviously "liars," since they are using an uncommon colloquial definition. 😉
