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 you're right that much more ridicule will be deserved by the next hapless lawyer falling for the same trap than the first one. That is not a sufficient excuse though - a difference between a professional and someone who is merely paid to do some semblance of a job is that a professional takes responsibility for their work. This Schwartz character obviously did not.

@osma @jeffjarvis It’s all bs. I cannot imagine citing a case I did not first read and “Shepardize” to make sure it was good law. And, especially, if I were submitting it under a colleague’s name in a federal jurisdiction to which I was not admitted to practice.
