Three Alabama attorneys were reprimanded and removed from a case after submitting court documents with fake citations generated by ChatGPT.

Three private attorneys representing Alabama’s prison system have been sanctioned and removed from a federal case after a judge found they submitted court filings containing fake case law generated by ChatGPT.

“In simpler terms, the citations were completely made up,” Manasco wrote.
