Bot-created subpage

A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/P. Kevin Castel was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 17:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

The curious case of the ChatGPT lawyer

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In an civil case in a federal district court over which Judge Castel presides (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63107798/mata-v-avianca-inc/), a lawyer for the plaintiff has gotten himself and his firm in trouble for using OpenAI's ChatGPT to write his court filings, ending up citing several non-existent cases to make his case, then further providing ChatGPT-generated content from those cases when the court pressed him for it.

The case is still ongoing, and judge Castel hasn't ruled on these happenings yet, but it seems like a good candidate for inclusion in his "Notable Cases", either now or once the case is resolved.

This has significant media coverage ( ArsTechnica, CNN, HuffPost, BBC, NYTimes, etc,)
