Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s onetime fixer and lawyer, admitted in a filing unsealed Friday that he inadvertently gave his lawyer fake legal case citations generated by artificial intelligence in connection with a motion to end his supervised release early.

U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman previously called the citations into question, writing earlier this month, "In the letter brief, Mr. Cohen asserts that, "[a]s recently as 2022, there have been District Court decisions, affirmed by the Second Circuit Court, granting early termination of supervised release."

Furman added, "As far as the Court can tell, none of these cases exist."


So Cohen used an AI search engine to do his work, and it gave him fantasy, but he had his lawyer file it. Well, turns out it was based on nothing. Honest mistake. No harm, no foul. Just like Claudine Gay. If you make a few citation errors in your work and you get caught, you just go back and fix them. Offer a "my bad" to the world, then go on about your business. Accountability is more of a punchline than a real thing. I have to wonder, will Republicans be treated the same way, should one of them be found in this situation?

I think we both know the answer to that.

I suspect plagiarism, questionable "facts", outright lies, and now AI generated answers run rampant among these peoples writings. It worked for covid. "Trust the science" they said.
