Good point. If a lawyer is stupid enough to use AI, he's probably too stupid to be a good lawyer in the first place

I think its a good use. I think the idiotic thing is how it was used. It sounds like he didn't validate it after which might just be unfamiliar with using new tech. Might be a lawyer looking to get a new trial. Might be just pure incompetence. But I still think its a good use if used correctly
