The chatbot promised a double-check it never ran, so the court had to do the checking itself.
What happened
A New York attorney filed a court document citing six non-existent cases that ChatGPT had invented, and the chatbot later fabricated further details when asked to verify them. The judge found the filing contained bogus judicial decisions and bogus quotes, and the attorney said he was unaware the system could generate false content. The lawyers faced a court hearing over possible discipline.
