    It happens all the time though. Made up and false facts being accepted as truth with no veracity.

    So hard disagree.

      The difference is, if this were to happen and it was found later that a court case crucial to the defense were used, that’s a mistrial. Maybe even dismissed with prejudice.

      Courts are bullshit sometimes, it’s true, but it would take deliberate judge/lawyer collusion for this to occur, or the incompetence of the judge and the opposing lawyer.

      Is that possible? Sure. But the question was “will fictional LLM case law enter the general knowledge?” and my answer is “in a functioning court, no.”

      If the judge and a lawyer are colluding or if a judge and the opposing lawyer are both so grossly incompetent, then we are far beyond an improper LLM citation.

      TL;DR As a general rule, you have to prove facts in court. When that stops being true, liars win, no AI needed.

        To put a fiber point, in not arguing that s. I should be used in court. That’s just a bad idea. I’m saying that B. S has been used as fact , look at the way history is taught in most countries. Very biased towards their own ruling class, usually involves living lies of some sort
