On the subject of the OP, is that these cases are only reported when they are detected. How many of these incidents get through without detection? We can't say of course, but there could be many. In which case a verdict reached on hallucinated case law becomes real case law.
I am speaking from a civil law perspective. Precedent being much less important than in common law, it's a big part of the work of the lawyers but not as huge. I'd blame the judge for not checking it, of course, and drafting a ruling mentionning invented case is appalling in any legal system of course.
A lot, but it's not a problem. After all, we're spending lot of power and water to have an infrastructure allowing us to have our silly discussions about AI, law, and pretending to be elves that have absolutely no importance, just for fun. Spending some more to actually lessen the burden of work on humanity and possibly have more people being able to afford access to the legal system, nurturning a world where justice and fairness is within reach for all and not just the priviledged few seems a fair use of resources.

If work is a "burden" that we should aim to "lessen", that would make mass unemployment the desired outcome.
Not necessarily. Workweek reduced over the last two centuries from 80 hours with people dying at work to 35 with people retiring and enjoying (and looking forward to) 20ish years of terminal unemployment before dying, and there is no reason not to go further. Mass unemployment would be the end result of both technological progress and a collective political choice to move more toward Hunger Games than The Culture.
I'd say that if one doesn't trust the collective political will to veer away from Hunger Games, there is little chance he'd trust the political will to enforce suppression of technology.

In my experience, a lot of people do not "enjoy" unemployment, even when is not accompanied by poverty.
"Progress" would imply people's lives getting better. My observation, over around 40 years, is that people's lives are getting worse.
How so "collective"? I see the vast majority of people having very little say over anything.
Yeah, you're wise.

One artist, Claire Silver, has been using AI art collaboratively since 2018 and gained renown from it, becoming the first AI-augmented artist to sign with the WME talent agency. "I have a chronic, disabling illness, an experience that has galvanized my love for augmenting skill in favor of expression," she told Ars Technica in an interview. "I grew up in poverty and have changed my family’s life with my AI art."
Well Claire sucks to be you and you too user bodden
