Michael Cohen cites AI-generated court cases in his defense - Lemmy.World

> Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times. A filing unsealed on Friday says Cohen used Google’s Bard to perform research after mistaking it for “a super-charged search engine” rather than an AI chatbot. I… don’t even. I lack the words.

I’m genuinely amazed at the calibre of people running the US. More so that aparently half the nation thinks its the best choice.
Yeah, the mental acumen on display is truly terrifying. Just not in the way Cohen would love to understand that sentence as. 😅
