Summary: ChatGPT: US lawyer admits using AI for case research

After “double checking”, ChatGPT responds again that the case is real and can be found on legal reference databases such as LexisNexis and Westlaw.

Steven A Schwartz, who has been an attorney for more than 30 years, used ChatGPT to look for similar previous cases.

Mr Schwartz added that he “greatly regrets” relying on the chatbot, which he said he had never used for legal research before and was “unaware that its content could be false”.

The lawyer who used the tool told the court he was “unaware that its content could be false”.

“Six of the submitted cases appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations,” Judge Castel wrote in an order demanding the man’s legal team explain itself.
