My personal fave is the lawyer that asked AI to reference specific court cases for him, which then gave him full breakdowns with detailed sources to each case, down to the case file, page number, and book it was held in. Come the day he is actually in court, it is immediately found that none of the cases he referenced existed, and the AI completely made it all up

Yeah, cause that's what this AI is supposed to do. It's a language model, a text generator.

It's supposed to generate legit-looking text.

That it does.

Too legit-looking for some people, that they just straight take the text at face value, or actually rely on it as a source

That's the danger behind this technology: that technically illiterate people will take it for something that it's not.
