I certainly don’t have any direct knowledge and understand the compulsion to blame AI, but I’m growing less trusting of claims made by the DOJ. Unless there’s a new cutout for AI use, there’s still a duty to present accurate and current case law. I do wonder if wishful AI prompts might be more likely to color the response attorneys get? If it is AI at the root, these kind of mistakes will cost lives in court, in surgery, in engineering, and other professions. I don’t think we can turn back the clock, so I hope every professional organization remains vigilant and transparent about the limitations of AI.
