If I had a nickel for every story I read about a lawyer using AI to generate a filing only to have it fabricate cases and cites wholesale, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
And by "weird" I mean terrifying, because you know if it happened twice, it happens all the time, and if it happens with lawyers, it happens with doctors, engineers, and any other profession where people want to cut costs on getting technical documents.
We are well and truly fucked as a species.
- jyxent 3y agoIf it is happening all the time, providers of generative AI should be emphasizing a whole lot more that they can just make up information. ChatGPT currently has this message in small text below the message prompt, but I'm not sure how long it has been there: "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important information." But I think that message is kind of underplaying it. The fact that it can make mistakes doesn't necessarily mean that the average person will think it is completely making something up.
