Lawyer Cites ChatGPT-Invented Fake Witnesses in Murder Appeal

“It’s little comfort to know that my stupidity is what brings us together this afternoon,” New Mexico attorney Stephen D. Aarons said in a hearing last month before five judges. He “assumed” ChatGPT would generate a “bulletproof summary of proceedings.” Instead, ChatGPT generated false testimony from “wholly fabricated witnesses,” according to an order of direct contempt from the New Mexico Supreme Court.
Aarons’ reasoning for trusting ChatGPT, he said in the August hearing, was that he’d heard of doctors using AI for medical research.

I don’t think the AI being used in medical research is ChatGPT (or any LLM for that matter), but if they are then that’s concerning… He’s still a dumbass though.
