Former Trump Lawyer Blames AI for Fake Legal Citations
Key Points:
- Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, admitted to using an AI program called Google Bard to generate fake legal citations.
- The AI program apparently produced citations that were not based in reality, causing Cohen to unknowingly present false information to his lawyer.
- Cohen placed blame on his lawyer for not fact-checking the information provided, leading to the false citations being included in a court filing.
Hot Takes:
Looks like Google Bard had a little too much creative license with those legal citations. Now Cohen is pointing fingers at both the AI and his own lawyer for not catching the falsehoods. Perhaps it’s time for lawyers to start fact-checking their AI assistants. Can we trust AI to be accurate in the legal world, or will we end up with a bunch of imaginary legal precedents? Only time will tell.

Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In the style of Realism, the image would depict a scene on a grand pirate ship, sailing through turbulent seas. The ship would be powered by advanced AI technology, with towering masts and intricate mechanical details. The ship’s hull would be adorned with menacing robotic figures, combining the aesthetics of pirates and futuristic robots. The crew, a mix of humans and AI robots, would be dressed in pirate attire, brandishing swords and blasters. The captain, a charismatic humanoid AI robot, would stand tall at the helm, directing the crew with authority. The overall atmosphere would capture both the Golden Age of Pirates and the futuristic realm of AI, showcasing a fusion of adventure, danger, and technological advancements.
