> “The Court is compelled to note that it has serious concerns that Wilson has continued this practice of AI misuse in other cases after she was put on notice of her violations in this case,” she added, noting that other judges in other cases had found hallucinated cases in Wilson’s filings as recently as April, four months after she was initially asked to explain her AI use in this case. “Her continued AI misuse demonstrates an extreme dereliction of professional responsibility on her part. Though this Court cannot consider subsequent conduct that did not occur before it in determination of the appropriate sanction(s) in this case, it finds that at minimum Wilson’s apologies to this Court on January 20, 2026 were not sincere.”

On the plus side, seeing behavior like this makes me realize that I can be impactful even in areas that I have little experience. The bar (ha!) is really quite low.

Heh, nice try.

The entire thing feels like it should be condensed down into a completely different format. We're doing the law the way it was designed a thousand years ago.

I hate to be the "Why does your field have a whole journal anyway?" guy from XKCD, but I feel like AI is pointing out a problem.

Frequently, it seems like we should turn some processes over to AI, then shut the AI off and see what, if anything, is actually lost. What do the lawyers here actually want the judge to know? What can be done to ease the work on both sets of lawyers and the judge by drilling down to the actual information hidden within the LLM-generated verbosity?
