Lawyers in general have no idea what this technology is. They assume that it's a Google that talks pretty. The fact that it actually produces case citations that look real but aren't was surprising the first time.
It doesn't help that Westlaw also touts integration of "AI" into its own products.
But to not even check the cases? There’s only 3! And none were real, he couldn’t have checked even 1! I am quite lazy but that is incomprehensible to me
It's a copy and paste operation to check these cases - literally copy the citation from whatever AI spat them out, paste that citation into Lexis, Westlaw, whatever.
You don't even have to retype the citation. And yet this lawyer - on a high profile case - was still too lazy.
