This is the case of Coomer v. Lindell, No. 22-cv-01129, pending in federal court in Colorado. Mike Lindell’s lawyers used Generative AI to respond to a brief and filed it without cite-checking the brief. This District Court entered an order to Show Cause why they should not be sanctioned. Lawyers don’t understand that Generative AI will hallucinate cases if it cannot find the citations you want it to find. This is problem with Generative AI. It is also why AI is useful. This is a path towards creativity in AI. We can’t say it enough, “Don’t Do This!”
