This is disturbing:
How far away are we from lawyers on both sides arguing based on invented case law and the judge allowing it because his case law is also invented?
AI invents things. I ask it for simple book lists, and 40% of books on them are invariably completely made up. I asked for a list of Mexican presidents since 1990, and was horrified to find Porfirio Díaz on it. AI does this with the simplest tasks. It creates very biased narratives that aim to please the person who wrote the prompt. That gigantic, wealthy law firms use AI to write their briefs is extremely disturbing.
It’s annoying to me that people refer to the fake texts generated by AI as hallucinations. AI is not human. It’s an algorithm that creates plausibly sounding texts that might of might not coincide with reality.

They can’t distinguish from things that current can do (write meaningless boilerplate) and things it can’t (actually access data in a way that human users need).
This is because they can’t make that distinction in real life… they can’t distinguish between bureaucratic forms that have to be done and the actual job they’re being paid to do.
I can’t decide whether the AI train is going to crash like a train into a mountainside when the tunnel stops or if it’s actually intended to turn people into bobbleheaded beasts who play with it while they await the truck to the abbatoir….

It scares me that even very educated people don’t understand how it works. These lawyers actually submitted these briefs to the court in a case worth billions of dollars.
