The lawyers on both sides of a federal court case in Mississippi were caught using artificial intelligence, a situation where, effectively, generative AI tools were used to argue against each other.
The judge wrote in a blistering sanctions order, that the lawyers wasted the court’s time, and that “in an era of rampant unverified AI usage within the legal field, this case presents a prime example of the risk associated with serving as a rubber-stamp.”
“This case presents the Court with an unusual scenario—attorneys for both litigants engaged in similar sanctionable conduct,” Sharion Aycock, senior United States District Judge for the Northern District of Mississippi wrote in a sanctions order. “This court is yet again ‘burdened with addressing AI hallucinations court filings.’”
Mercy is the name of the movie. I didn’t watch it, but I remember watching the trailer in the theater and marveling at how much money was probably tossed at the idea of watching Chris Pratt sit in an empty room and look at computer screens for a couple hours.
I watched it. Not really a spectacular movie but an okay watch if you’re bored.
That’s fair. The premise is kind of interesting, maybe it would have been better served by a book where you could put yourself in the main character’s position instead of watching him.
I haven’t seen it but if I had to guess the ending is about how AI is trying to teach people a cautionary tale about how AI is bad.
How far off am I?
Kinda? As far as I interpreted it, it was mostly aimed at the people behind AI hyping it up to “never make mistakes” and trying to silence people who point them out.
Oh a COVID movie then?
