Delhi High Court Dismisses Plea Over AI-Generated Falsification
A group of homebuyers had a case in court.
The group representing them, the GWA, used a computer program called ChatGPT to help write their arguments.
But ChatGPT made up fake case laws and quotes!
The lawyers for the other side noticed this and told the judge.
The judge was upset because the information was not real.
The court stopped the case.
This shows that you can't use made-up information in legal arguments.
Delhi High Court allowed the withdrawal of a plea by a homebuyers’ association.
Senior advocates flagged the use of ChatGPT, which generated fake quotes and cases in the petition.
The court found that the use of AI in this manner was impermissible and a cause for serious concern.
Respondents pointed out fabricated citations and incorrect paragraph numbers from existing judgments.
The court is considering action against the erring lawyer.
