El 23 de julio de 2025, N.D. Alabama (Estados Unidos) conoció un asunto en el que un abogado se apoyó en la herramienta de IA ChatGPT y el expediente registró contenido alucinado.

Qué se alucinó

• Fabricación de jurisprudencia. Citation to United States v. Baker, 539 F. App’x 937, 943 (11th Cir. 2013) as confirming broad discovery rights; court found the citation as styled does not exist and the volume/page cited corresponds to Williams v. Morahan, not Baker, and does not discuss discovery.
• Fabricación de jurisprudencia. Citation to Kelley v. City of Birmingham, 2021 WL 1118031, at *2 (N.D. Ala. Mar. 24, 2021) to avoid delaying a deposition; court and opposing party could find no such federal case—only a 1939 Alabama Court of Appeals traffic case with that style.
• Fabricación de jurisprudencia. Citation to Greer v. Warden, FCC Coleman I, 2020 WL 3060362, at *2 (M.D. Fla. June 9, 2020) as rejecting an inmate’s request to delay a deposition; court found no such case exists nor a similar case supporting that proposition.
• Fabricación de jurisprudencia. Citation to Wilson v. Jackson, 2006 WL 8438651, at *2 (N.D. Ala. Feb. 27, 2006) for granting a Rule 30(a)(2)(B) motion; court found no such case and that the Westlaw number points to an unrelated maritime case in S.D.W. Va. (Douglas v. Ingram Barge Co.).
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Citation to Williams v. Asplundh Tree Expert Co., No. 3:05-cv-479, 2006 WL 3343787, at *4 (M.D. Fla. Nov. 17, 2006) for the rule that general objections are useless; court noted a case with that style exists but not with that citation/proposition combination.
