Lawyer for MyPillow Founder Filed AI-Generated Brief with ‘Nearly 30’ Bogus Citations.

The use of artificial intelligence to generate documents for later use within legal contexts is not exactly new; in years past, at the beginning of the impressive rise experienced by the technology in question, several legal professionals were reprimanded for submitting documents containing typical “hallucinations” of AI models.

The usefulness of this technology is currently undoubted. Its ability to analyze massive amounts of content and then perform a kind of “sorting,” aimed at compiling, precisely, a series of examples to be proposed to the Judge following one case rather than another, is an enviable skill. However, there is a tendency to forget the fundamental importance of in-depth human supervision, a flesh-and-blood figure in charge of verifying the reliability of what the AI presents.

In recent years, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has shown considerable support for President Trump and the lies presented during his election campaigns. This unshakable confidence has caused him several problems from a legal standpoint, a situation made worse by a clueless lawyer, excessively trusting when it comes to AI.
