YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Read the story

An attorney for the City and County of Honolulu just cited a case that doesn’t exist in a high-profile civil rights case.

The plaintiff in this case — the ACLU — suspects the attorney used artificial intelligence to draft the brief in question. The city denies this and chalks it up to a drafting error.

This comes amid a growing trend of “AI hallucinations” by lawyers.
