Lawsuit Over Inaccurate References

The ongoing lawsuit against Anthropic, filed by Universal Music Group and
other publishers, has highlighted significant issues regarding the accuracy
of AI-generated citations in legal documents.
Central to the case is a citation error made by Anthropic's AI bot, Claude,
which was used by expert witness Olivia Chen, leading to allegations of
citing non-existent articles.
Plaintiffs' attorney Matt Oppenheim confirmed that the cited paper could
not be verified, labeling it a 'complete fabrication' after contacting the
supposed authors and the American Statistician journal.

Having been an expert witness in a few court cases, I would check all my
references, wherever they came from. Apart from looking foolish, judges
can lock you up for contempt.

Inspector Morse (TV series) was lying in a hospital bed and given a book
which researched case a 100 years earlier. He ordered two exumations. A
couple both thought buried, were not and faked both deaths (they were a
magic act by occupation). Replacing her body in a river with a body of
another woman "they found".
Canal Boat Ferry men were convicted and one hung on grounds "they did
not go to church on sundays" (probably as they were working). Putting
lipstick on the pig, perhaps also they could not produce churchgoers as
alibis.
The book on which episode based at

Greetings from the World Product Day in Canberra. This is the second
time today I turned up to an event having no idea what it was. The first
was a Zoom Eportfolios Australia "PARE" "Shut up and write" session.
This one is about accessibility: "Embedding accessibility throughout
product development". There is pizza and post it notes, so I feel at
home.
