A lawyer was caught citing six nonexistent precedents researched by ChatGPT in a New York state court case.
China Southern Airlines and Roberto Mata (passenger) have been in litigation since 2019
The lawsuit alleges that Mata was injured while flying China Southern Airlines and that the injury was due to the airline's negligence.
Lawyer to be disciplined for filing false documents with court
ChatGPT reported the following six cases. However, none of them actually occurred.
Varghese v. China South Airlines, Martinez v. Delta Airlines, Shaboon v. EgyptAir, Petersen v. Iran Air, Miller v. United Airlines, and Estate of Durden v. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
What is even more surprising is that the lawyer who submitted this document is not a junior but has 30 years of experience.
Steven Schwartz, a 30-year veteran, is not the lead attorney on this defense team, but rather an assistant.
He said he gave the materials to Peter Loduca, the main lawyer, to research and prepare the complaint.

The lawyer asked ChatGPT, "Is this a real precedent?" and he said, "Yes," so he believed it and submitted it.

The submitted document contains a record of asking chatGPT for the source and authenticity (hallucination)
