El 18 de septiembre de 2025, E.D. Wisconsin (Estados Unidos) conoció un asunto en el que un abogado se apoyó en la herramienta de IA Westlaw's Quick Check and AI Case Search Tool y el expediente registró contenido alucinado.

Qué se alucinó

• Tergiversación de pruebas o escritos. Claimed Wolf defended Pelishek and said he did nothing wrong; none of the four cited PPMF paragraphs support this.
• Tergiversación de pruebas o escritos. Proposed fact said City Attorney Adams denied Pelishek the opportunity to respond to a reporter; the cited email exchange contains no such denial.
• Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Quoted Swetlik as saying 'falsified government records affecting taxpayer funds' are matters of public concern; the phrase appears nowhere in the case.
• Fabricación de jurisprudencia. Cited a non-existent case to claim supervisory liability of mayor and city attorney in retaliation.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Stated Whittaker emphasized that public accusations eroding professional standing may justify resignation; Whittaker found no hostile environment.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Used Patton to support constructive discharge based on fabricated accusations and reputational harm; Patton focused on unwanted sexual contact and obsessive conduct.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Claimed Ulrey upheld a jury’s constructive discharge finding based on exclusion and retaliation; Ulrey rejected the constructive discharge claim.
• Tergiversación de pruebas o escritos. Attributed the word 'exactly' to Rendall-Araujo’s request that Pelishek repeat what was said; the proposed finding of fact did not state she used 'exactly.'
• Tergiversación de pruebas o escritos. Asserted Rendall-Araujo 'stated she was standing up to his racism'; the cited proposed findings do not support this.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Asserted a three-part prior restraint test and cited Milwaukee Police Ass’n v. Jones; the test cannot be found on the cited pages or in the case.
• Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Altered Howell’s Monell standard by quoting language not in the opinion.
• Citas falsas de jurisprudencia. Inserted 'any guidelines' where Harman said only 'standards.'
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Claimed AFGE held that chilling of protected speech is actionable; the case concerned sequestration and not the First Amendment.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Said Boumehdi held ostracism and workload manipulation support hostile environment; the case relied on repeated sexist comments and did not say that.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Asserted Stutler held 'retaliatory gagging' contributes to hostile environment; Stutler was not a hostile environment case and noted ostracism without material harm is insufficient.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Claimed Woods recognized that false accusations of racism can create a hostile environment; Woods addressed age/disability/FMLA discrimination and not hostile environment.
• Tergiversación de jurisprudencia. Portrayed Green v. Brennan as involving employer manufacturing a false narrative and pressuring resignation; Green concerned when a constructive discharge claim accrues.
