The penalty for referencing cases that dont exist in a court filing should be disbarment
Thats like your doctor using AI to make up treatments that dont exist
- Why yes, I do recommend you smear peanut butter across your scrotum and have your dog lick it off. Patterson et al (2007) found that it can cure cancer.
  
  I probably wouldn't make the cancer worse. We might as well try.
- Seriously, isn't reading documents/cases a bare minimum for their exorbitant fees?
- or using it to DIAGNOSE diseases.
- Such a doctor would be irreplaceable.
A lawyer using AI is like a lawyer submitting documents in poorly-written crayon.
It really speaks to the type of lawyers he's agreed to pay to take this case. Assuming he actually will pay large sums unlike trump, he went with the most idiotic he could find.
- Or maybe he's just an underrated genius?
It’s not like Mike Lindell is capable of discerning falsehoods from reality…
- ...or that any argument based on reality would help him.
- crack addiction helps blend it together.
Billions in infrastructure and energy to come up with a best guess that a three year old could probably outperform. Good job ai bros!
Looking forward to Supreme Court vacating the fines and not explaining.
