Can’t ask ChatGPT to do all my legal research yet.
The [redacted] Circuit Court of Appeals wrote extensively on the [redacted state’s] [redacted statute with a distinct acronym] in 2011. It’s one of those decisions that you get really excited about when you find it because it’s thorough and unimpeachably reasoned.
However, when I asked ChatGPT for the major [redacted] Circuit Court cases on that statute, it told me that the [redacted] Circuit had never directly analyzed that statute.
So not only is ChatGPT hallucinating citations as in the case in the news this week, it’s hallucinating the absence of crucial case law.
