I'm participating in WikiAfrica Hour #24, with Kwaku Addo Ofori, to talk about what I've learned on my listening tour since I joined Wikimedia Foundation. Livestream here (and it will be recorded): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rScuV-NpQNo
@GossiTheDog It's amazing. Not just made up citations, when the opposing party said "huh, we can't find any of these cases the plaintiff cited" (doc #24) the judge ordered the plaintiff to submit copies (#25), and they complied… by having ChatGPT write the made up rulings they cited (#29)
This, uh, does not seem to have improved their situation
On that CNET thing in the last boost, my first thought was "this is gonna make search even more useless" and… yeeeep "They are clearly optimized to take advantage of Google’s search algorithms, and to end up at the top of peoples’ results pages"
In which we also learn what the case is about: "There is no dispute that the Plaintiff was travelling as a passenger on an international flight when he allegedly sustained injury after a metal serving cart struck his left knee"
… two dudes set their law licenses on fire for a personal injury suit for a guy who took a drink cart to the knee?
