It shouldn't be so mindblowing. People are lazy and dumb, as much so as they're allowed to be. We're a year away from this tech being completely mainstream to the point where we'll find out what happens when an entire society at once stops trying to think/work because there's a machine to do it for them now.

If they used ChatGPT to find real cases that's not lazy, that's smart. The dumb and lazy part was NOT CHECKING ON THE NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR SOMETHING YOU SENT TO A JUDGE. Sorry for the caps, but so, so stupid. IIRC they asked ChatGPT if it lied, and it said no..
And they doubled down on dumb and lazy when the judge first raised the flag that something was wrong with what they submitted.
This. We thought that it was bad enough when people used google to diagnose themselves. We're entering uncharted territory now.
Before it was handful of mad people with things like sovereign citizen and stupid instructions on Internet. But now it seems even trained folks will follow whatever something they have not verified says...

Also I wonder how well the training data was cleaned from all potentially harmful stuff like for example the sovereign citizen ideas...

And I'm a French model..
And this is exactly why I don't think Communism will work.

You really need not wait that far if you have been observant enough, they are they were at one point clownish enough to believe in religion, now the vast majority of them believe in 'science' etc. Over reliance on Chat GPT is just the one of the newest manifestation of laziness and dumbness.
