El 31 de marzo de 2026, D. Nevada (Estados Unidos) conoció un asunto en el que una parte sin abogado (litigante pro se) se apoyó en una herramienta de IA generativa (no identificada en la decisión) y el expediente registró contenido alucinado.
Qué se alucinó
- Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff attributed the quote "both baseless and made without a reasonable and competent inquiry" to Christian v. Mattel; court found no such quote in that opinion.
- Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff attributed the quote "a reasonable attorney in like circumstances could believe his actions to be factually and legally justified" to Cooter & Gell; court found no such quote in that Supreme Court opinion.
- Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff attributed a leniency-for-pro-se quote to Warren v. Guelker, but the case contains no such quote and its holding is to the contrary; court found the attribution false.
- Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff attributed the quote "Rule 11 is not intended as a vehicle for intimidation or punishment for minor pleading errors" to Hudson; court found no such quote or holding in that opinion.
- Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff quoted the Supreme Court as cautioning against using Rule 11 "as a bar to the courthouse door" and cited Cooter & Gell at 393; court found no such quote in that opinion as used.
- Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff cited Sineneng-Smith and claimed it "acknowledg[ed] appellate errata" in a cited footnote; court found no such reference and the footnote irrelevant to plaintiff's position.
- Fabricación de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff cited "Verinata Health, Inc. v. Ariosa Diagnostics, Inc., 2014 WL 10321141, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 21, 2014)" to support that errata are accepted; court found the Westlaw number incorrect/misleading and no such supporting authority.
- Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Plaintiff cited Lewis v. Ryan (D. Ariz., Jan. 3, 2008) as accepting errata; court located a different Lewis v. Ryan under another number with no errata and found the representation false.
