Much like their tech creators, AI is hallucinating

We're back! Did you miss us?

Today Alec and Sascha discuss a legal debacle involving a lawsuit against Colombian airline, Avianca. Plaintiff Roberto Mata claimed to be injured by a serving cart during a flight, but a brief presented by his lawyer, Steven Schwartz, created chaos. The brief, prepared with the assistance of ChatGPT - an AI program - cited several non-existent court cases. Schwartz admitted to his reliance on AI for legal research, sparking a discussion about the reliability of artificial intelligence in law. We ask - why is AI hallucinating, and what do we have to do to stop believing it?
