Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times. A filing unsealed on Friday says Cohen used Google’s Bard to perform research after mistaking it for “a super-charged search engine” rather than an AI chatbot.

I… don’t even. I lack the words.

Never expect the bottom 80% of the bell curve to have self awareness. That’s a bet you lose 9 times out of 10.

Funny how “self awareness” has two meanings here. It’s the essence of what makes humans the smartest animals, but the problem you’re referring to—lack of self reflection—is one of the most common problems amongst people today. Common sense ain’t so common.
