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.

I’m genuinely amazed at the calibre of people running the US. More so that aparently half the nation thinks its the best choice.
If you lived here, you might begin to understand the level of nationally fucked the literate half is aware of daily. Then again, you seem like a decent person, so I wouldn’t wish that on you. 😅
