The news about Steven Schwartz, the attorney who asked ChatGPT,
an artificial intelligence chatbot, to find cases relevant to his
client's lawsuit only to submit a brief full of bogus caselaw,
spread gleefully fast, as embarrassing news does. And although we
shook our heads in disapproval, I suspect many attorneys were
grateful to Mr. Schwartz. His blunder suggested that we are not so
easily replaceable by AI.

"You have the Truman Show versus a horror show," said
litigation legend Lisa Blatt during oral arguments in Gonzalez
v. Google. Gonzalez is one of two cases recently decided by
the Supreme Court dealing with the imposition of liability on
websites that host user-generated content (UGC) for the actions of
their users. But more broadly, many viewed the cases as asking the
Justices to determine if we can hold the creators of technology
responsible for the consequences of their creations.

When the Writers Guild of America (WGA) came with their list of
demands in the strike that has already grinded production on many
shows to a halt, chief among them was that the studios agree not to
use artificial intelligence to write scripts. Specifically, the
Guild had two asks: First, they said that "literary
material," including screenplays and outlines, must be
generated by a person and not an AI; Second, they insisted that
"source material" not be AI-generated.

A track called "Heart on My Sleeve" went
viral recently on social media with lead vocals sounding eerily
similar to a certain crooner known for his lovelorn lyrics. The
pantomimed artist was Drake, no stranger to thirsty pining, backed
by R&B artist The Weeknd. The song, however, was credited to
Ghostwriter977, the alias of an anonymous TikToker, and neither
Drake nor The Weeknd participated in the track's creation. Rather, the vocals were generated using artificial intelligence
tools.
