People need to be held in contempt if there's any AI hallucinations in their filings.

475$ an hour? Fucking hell, for that money I'll write any report to whitewash you and I won't make it apparent that I'm using AI to talk about shit I have no idea about, AND I'll make sure that if I do use AI to write the whole thing then it won't be traced back to me by my ChatGPT history lmao
What a shitty asshole. I'd ve the better shitty asshole
So you're saying you're bribable?
For 475$ an hour? Absolutely. I'd be getting paid near 5 grand a day for working 3 hours a day.
I hope you're not an expect witness in maths.
I'm having a stroke even trying to understand the 'math' there. It'd take a 10 hour workday to be "near" 5 grand a day.
You just gotta do at least three hours per hour, and it's easy!
Probably billable rate, so ~$150/hr earned, or ~$300k a year... Yeah I'll take that deal
I imagine being an expert witness is pretty lucrative in the right industry. You wouldn't need to do anything else, once you had your bona fides and a few connections to start. It can be done by video, you could do it from anywhere in the world. Say, your five-star hotel room in France.
Soft paywall
(Semi) covert was of using AI, especially like this, should be regarded as a criminal offense ending in jail time
i suspect, shit like this is going to prompt some idiotic supreme court verdict is going to be set in stone for the next 10 years.
example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Grants_Pass_v._Johnson
if its not a guarenteed win, then dont push it to supreme court level. the consequences are severe for everyone.
Curiously SCOTUS isn't even trying. I expect them to be Cardinal fucking Richelieu in their arguments, capable of explaining logically how they reached their findings so that any reasonable person (e.g. me) would be able to understand their conclusion.
But no. Dobbs, for instance, is word salad, and there are numerous legal scholars who have dissected Alito's opinion, and concluded not only that it doesn't make sense but reached consensus as to how. When you're the captured US Supreme Court and beholden to absolutely no ethical or professional obligations, you can opine obvious bullshit, and that counts.
Maybe, once we can get AI to stop from hallucinating, we can get it to overhaul court opinions from appeals courts up, and highlight which ones are sound and which are folly. But for now, everyone knows SCOTUS is captured and beholden to a specific agenda and ideology in defiance of logic or the good of the public. And there's nothing (legal) that we can do about it.
Maybe a plumber's brother might help, but that's a different topic.
