I attended the hearing for the hapless lawyer who used ChatGPT in his filings and here's my report. A cautionary tale not just for lawyers but for journalists: not about the machine but about our responsibility.

@jeffjarvis The part that bothers me the most is... what exactly did these lawyers think their clients were paying them for? If they really thought that just letting ChatGPT do their job for them was legitimate, why wouldn't their clients just do that themselves instead of paying a lawyer an absurd amount of money to do it for them? That alone seems like it should be enough to prove dereliction of duty.
