The lawyers of the founder of Mypillow filed an introduction to AI generation and quoted “nearly 30”
Mypillow CEO Mike Lindell’s stubborn support for Donald Trump’s election lies has left him in multiple legal entanglements, including in a case in Denver, where the pillow salesman is currently being sued by a former employee who dominates the voting system. Eric Coomer, who previously worked for election suppliers, accused Lindell of defaming him of his paranoia, who had been manipulated against Trump in the 2020 presidential election. There is always room for things to be stupid when it is already sufficiently stupid, as Lindell’s lawyer reportedly introduced a legal summary in hot water, written with generated AI.
U.S. District Court Judge Nina Wang is trying to explore the bottom of Lindell’s attorney Christopher Kachouroff, and decided to file a court summary, which includes a large number of fabricated legal involvement. In filings filed this week, Wang tried to clarify why Kachouroff and Lindell’s other attorney, Jennifer DeMaster, allowed such a disastrous thing to happen.
Court documents show that Kachouroff’s previous profile was stuffed with obvious errors in “nearly thirty”, including “citations for non-existent cases.” “Despite all opportunities to do so, Mr. Kachouroff refused to explain to the court how the opposition was enriched in this fundamentally wrong way,” Wang said. “Time and again, when Mr. Kachouroff was asked to explain why the reference to the legal authorities was inaccurate, he refused to provide any explanation.”
According to the document, Kachouroff previously claimed that the mistakes were the result of his own mistakes, saying: “Your honor, I may have made a mistake that I may misinterpret and misuse. I do not intend to mislead the court. I think this sentence is not far from what you have read.”
But now, Kachouroff admits that the reason for so many errors in the summary is that it is generated by a chatbot.
“Until the court directly asked Mr. Kachouroff whether the opposition was a product of generative AI, Mr. Kachouroff admitted that he did indeed use the generative AI,” the document stated. “After further doubts, Mr. Kachouroff admitted that he did not cite the opposition’s authorization until he was brought to the court.”
Wang has now provided Kachouroff and Demaster with the straits until May 5 to explain this ridiculous legal practice. Wang said that if they cannot fully explain, the two attorneys will be referred for violating their professional conduct rules for oath of office. Gizmodo approached Kachouroff and Demaster to comment.
