AI in the Courtroom: The Story of the Imaginary Lawyer.

A man in New York used a computer program to make a fake person for his court case. The judges were surprised because he didn't tell them it wasn't real.

The man, Jerome Dewald, didn't have a lawyer and was nervous about speaking in court. He thought the computer-generated person would do a better job.

The judges were not happy about being tricked and said it was wrong. This case shows how artificial intelligence can cause problems in legal situations.

Other lawyers have also had problems with AI making up fake court cases. Sometimes they didn't realize the AI was making things up.

Even though there are problems, some courts are using AI avatars to explain legal decisions to the public. It's important to be careful and understand the limits of AI in law.
