This document summarizes a significant incident involving the use of OpenAI’s ChatGPT for legal research, which resulted in an attorney submitting non-existent court cases in a legal brief. The case highlights a critical limitation of current large language models (LLMs), specifically their propensity to “hallucinate” or generate false information presented as factual. This incident serves as a stark warning about the unreliability of relying solely on AI-generated content without thorough verification, especially in critical professional domains like law.
