‘Very grave situation’: Oregon court slaps attorney with $2,000 fine for AI errors
An Oregon attorney accused of relying' on the totally plausible — and often totally erroneous — output of so-called artificial intelligence was slapped with a fine by the Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday.
The appellate court determined that Portland civil attorney Gabriel A. Watson filed briefs citing two made-up cases and used a fabricated quote that was attributed to a real piece of case law.
In a first for Oregon, the Courts of Appeals ordered Watson to pay $2,000 to the state judicial department, charging him $500 for each baloney citation and $1,000 for the bogus quote.
… Lagesen, the judge, said Watson hadn’t provided a “clear explanation” of how the error occurred and that each false brief created by AI costs the judicial system time and money untangling the mix-up.
Legal precedent is the backbone of the law, Lagesen said, but artificial intelligence is a machine built on the probable order of words, not the truth itself.
AI mistakes are sometimes dubbed “hallucinations.” But Lagesen rejected that term.
“Artificfial intelligence is not perceiving nonexistent law as the result of a disorder,” she wrote. “Rather, it is generating nonexistent law in accordance with its design.”

University of Chicago Law School AI Lab Launches LeaseChat
LawSites – “LeaseChat [in Beta] it is a free AI tool designed to help renters across the United States analyze their leases and understand their legal rights. With more than 40 million rented properties nationwide, the tool aims to level the playing field for tenants navigating complex lease agreements and landlord-tenant law.
LeaseChat provides four core features, all designed to help renters understand both the law and their specific lease terms:
Lease Analyzer: Renters can upload their lease and receive an AI-powered analysis that identifies any red flags. For example, the system will flag unusually high security deposits or problematic clauses.
Lease Chat: Users can ask questions about their lease in plain language and receive answers with direct citations to specific lease provisions, complete with page references.
Legal Rights: Based on the lease location, the tool outlines applicable laws and tenant rights for that specific city and state, covering everything from repair timelines to notice requirements for landlord entry to rules around returns of security deposits.
Letter Drafter: The platform can help renters draft correspondence to landlords about repairs, late rent, deposit returns and other common issues.
All of LeaseChat’s features are also available in Spanish, via a toggle button at the top of the site’s homepage…”
