“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.

Using AI for medical research probably doesn't mean using a publicly available chat bot.

AI is already being used for writing faux papers in journals, stem and medical ones. its just now they are getting caught. even using it for “medical scans” is highly suspect and likely wont see the light of day. a version of its being used in dental scans already by some.
