Michael Cohen - still an idiot

Michael Cohen Used Artificial Intelligence in Feeding Lawyer Bogus Cases - www.nytimes.com/2023/12/29/nyregion/michael-cohen-ai-fake-cases.html

Short synopsis: Cohen used Google's Bard to draft up an argument that he sent to his lawyer. Bard created fictitious citations. Cohen's lawyer then plopped the whole thing wholesale into a document for a judge. Judge reads the document and asks Cohen's lawyer to provide copies of the citations (which aren't real). Only the best!

Wow. Cohen is stupid but his lawyer must be even worse to not even door check a couple citations knowing how awful Cohen is

I’d really love to see the judge’s face when it’s explained why the cases can’t be provided.

They should have stuck with Westlaw!

I went to a panel seminar on AI in the legal arena a few months ago. The presenters had given their talk many times in the past year and said they had to update their slideshow daily as new stuff came in because so much is happening. I bet this snafu just made it into their PowerPoint.

This happened with another lawyer back in June in a NY Federal Court. How many times does it take before people learn?

Can't stop, won't stop. 🤣
