Prosecutor caught using A.I. to fabricate legal document faces the music

Maybe there's a reason beyond the obvious that it's "artificial intelligence."

As no actual intelligence would fabricate cases, citations, and quotations and then submit them to a court, which is what happened in a case involving State Attorney Deborah Leslie.

She's being handed a grievance with the State Bar in Georgia, suspension, performance plan development, loss of privileges and more, according to a report at RedState.

Further, the State Supreme Court has canceled a lower court's decision that was based on the fiction.

Here is Justice Nels S.D. Peterson informing Leslie that the court documents she submitted included "five citations to cases that don't exist." And worse.

    An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week.

This problem is only going to get worse. I daresay many younger attorneys are poor writers and, perhaps, are just too lazy to put in the time researching cases to write a proper brief. So they take the easy way out: A.I.
