⚠️ Legal disaster: MyPillow attorneys filed an AI-written brief citing fake cases 🤖⚖️

A federal judge slammed the team after they:
📝 Submitted a legal brief riddled with 30+ fictional citations
🚫 Failed to fact-check AI-generated content
💥 Misquoted real rulings and invented non-existent cases
⚖️ Now face sanctions for professional misconduct
