Lindell’s lawyer was in hot water for having filed a legal brief that was written with generative AI.

U.S. District Court Judge Nina Wang is trying to get to the bottom of how and why Lindell’s lawyer, Christopher Kachouroff, decided to file a court brief that included a large number of fabricated legal citations. In a filing made this week, Wang sought to clarify why Kachouroff and Lindell’s other lawyer, Jennifer DeMaster, had allowed such a disastrously unprofessional thing to happen.

Imagine paying whatever this guy did to his lawyer and finding out they just outsourced your life to a fucking chatbot.

He paid the whole $7 he had left after all the other lawsuits

Seems intentional. Now they can get a mistrial

There really needs to be regulation to have them disbarred if they try this shit for at least 5 years or more. In the case of California and the AI bullshit assisted test, the entire committee or whatever they call themselves approving such garbage should also face the same penalty (or harsher really, they should be held to a higher standard).

Such a stupid state of affairs even it becomes apparent the people in power of decisions are as dumb as rocks protected by family money, influence or legacy.

He seems like a nice guy, but imagine being named Eric Coomer...
