Two New York lawyers submitted a legal brief in federal court that cited six fake cases — all hallucinated by ChatGPT. When a judge asked for the actual cases, the lawyers produced fake quotes from fake judges in fake rulings. After a sanctions hearing, they were fined $5,000 each and ordered to notify the real judges whose names had been fabricated in the fictional citations.
