I just had a weirdly thrilling moment and no other place to share it, so ...
I received a legal ... paper ... this morning, and it didn't look right. As I was reading it, the cases all felt ... off. And then I hit a proposition where there was a case cited, and I thought, "WUT? There is no case in the history of ever that says that!"
So I checked. Case doesn't exist. Checked out cases. Out of the 20+ cases cited, only one actually exists (but didn't stand for the proposition for which it was cited).
Oh boy. Then I checked a citation to a statute. Hey! The statute exists! Except, it's quoting the statute, and nothing resembling that quote is in the statute.
That's right, after all this time ... I finally got my hands on someone fool enough to try and AI a legal filing.
This will end very badly. And I will take great joy in it.
