Full title: ‘Show How 3M Is 0% at Fault:’ Expert Witness Used ChatGPT to Write Report Defending Company in Deadly Explosion Lawsuit / ChatGPT prompts show how an expert witness report was created in a $61 million lawsuit over an explosion that killed three people.
Yeah.
It’s crazy to think they wouldn’t, like with any other form of plagiarism or fraud. AI isn’t some special case that somehow gets people out of responsibility.
Someone sends me anything with a reference that doesn’t exist they can get fucked. Student, colleague… doesn’t matter.
LLMs (especially Gemini) have a tendency to hallucinate things from extant references, especially with a huge blob of spammy search results in context.
Even with a real reference, you have to be careful.
…TBH, I’ve been fighting fire with fire. Sometimes I get local Qwen 27B to point to the relevant bit in a reference. If there is one.
That’s sort of what I meant. It’s not just the existence of the reference. It’s the fraudulent nature of it.
gemini mostly gets thier data from reddit anyways, hence the recent aggressiveness in reddit forcing logins, they likely mined all the data they could from genuine users, and need more new content.
