“If an attorney does this, a judge can demand explanations, but it’s not true in the other direction,” Frohock said. “We will probably never know what happened, unless an appellate court demands it.”
That sucks. There should be some sort of consequence for doing this.
- the only place at this point that can come from is from the governed: the populace
LLMs are being shoved into so many bits of software (office suites, programming tools, etc.) it doesn't surprise me that something like this has happened.
- Law people have a duty to be up to date on this stuff tho. If you dont know how to avoid LLMs from seeing or interacting with your stuff then you shouldnt be allowed to practice law.
  
  To really be sure would require knowing what software is actually doing - not just taking the claims made by the programmers (or more likely, the mere owners) of the proprietary software.
  That sounds doubly difficult job.
Vibes based legal system, sure, why not?
- That's just called common law
  
  This made me laugh. Not wrong though!
I know a law firm who creates garbage like this without even using AI
Should have judged the situation better
