The arrival of artificial intelligences like ChatGTP has caused fear in some sectors, because it is said that in the not too distant future the platform will replace several current professions and many people will be left without a job because of it.
While many already fear that ChatGPT will take over jobs, it seems that in some professions it is not going to arm it (or at least for now). that figured it out a lawyer who used ChatGPT to defend himself in court and will receive a penalty.

A man sued the airline Avianca
This is the case of Steven Schwartz, an attorney who has worked for your firm for the past 30 years ‘Levidow, Levidow & Oberman’, and that currently he has seen his career almost thrown into the trash thanks to a case where he had a good idea to use ChatGPT.
In accordance with The New York TimesIt all started when a man named Roberto Mata sued the airline Aviancaalleging that he sustained an injury when a metal service cart struck him in the knee during a flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York.

The lawyer representing him used ChatGPT to file a case report
Avianca denied the accusation and asked a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss the case, but Mata’s lawyer said it was important to continue with the legal process and to convince the judge, he presented several cases of lawsuits against airlines.
Steven Schwartz showed 10 pages with lawsuits by people against airlines like Delta Airlines, Korean Airlines and others. But what was the problem? that none of those cases existed and were actually invented by ChatGTP. That?

ChatGPT gave him a list of other similar lawsuits against airlines
The newspaper indicated that Avianca’s legal team and the judge assigned to the case realized that none of the people named in the lawyer’s report could be located or there was simply no record of the lawsuits filed against the other airlines.
It was then that Schwartz explained what happened and said that he used ChatGPT to get help with his filing for the case. Something that instead of giving him solutions brought him more problems than he already had to defend Roberto Mata.

The problem? That the lawsuits never existed and ChatGPT invented them
It turns out that Steven Schwartz made the accusations in a sworn manner (so he swore to tell the truth), but he had never used ChatGPT and therefore had no idea that the popular platform might contain fake content. But that is not all.
The lawyer said that he himself asked ChatGPT if the cases he provided were real and the platform said “yes”, so he blindly believed him and decided to present the alleged facts to continue with the case and be the defense of his client.

Now the judge in the case ordered a hearing in June 2023 to “discuss possible sanctions” for Mr. Schwartz after what happened. Something that, without a doubt, will be among his top 3 cases that he has represented during his career as a lawyer.
