      Sullivan & Cromwell’s Embarrassing AI Hallucination Incident Shows the Risks of Lazy AI Use

      One of Wall Street’s most prestigious and oldest law firms found itself in an uncomfortable spotlight, not for a high-stakes deal or landmark case, but for submitting a court filing riddled with AI-generated errors, including fabricated case citations. Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C), a firm known for representing major corporations, high-profile clients (including President Trump in certain appeals), and handling complex restructurings, had to issue a formal apology to a federal bankruptcy judge after opposing counsel caught the mistakes.

      The incident is a stark reminder: no matter how respected or well-resourced a firm is, artificial intelligence is not a substitute for human diligence. When lawyers cut corners or fail to follow basic training protocols, AI’s notorious “hallucinations” can lead to professional embarrassment, potential sanctions, and wasted court time.

      Generative AI will change the way most creatives and professionals work

      success with generative AI

      By now, you’ve likely heard about ChatGPT. If you haven’t, you might want to take a hard look at your news sources and social media habits.

      ChatGPT is a chatbot that utilizes generative AI. It’s the most well-known tool out there at the moment, but there are many more, and new tools are being released every day. ChatGPT is free with certain usage limits, and the newest version of ChatGPT (GPT-4) is now available for an insanely low $20 per month subscription.

      I won’t spend too much time here describing what generative AI can do. Basically, tools like ChatGPT can act as a research and writing assistant. The tools will improve your writing. Ask it a question, and it will provide an answer in any writing style you desire. It can write poetry and songs. It does get facts wrong at times, so you have to review and edit all the output, but the output is often amazing.

      Generative AI also includes text-to-image tools such as Midjourney that can create a beautiful image in any style simply with text prompts. Text-to-video isn’t as fully developed at the moment, but it’s coming.

      Start now

      If you’re in a creative or knowledge worker field and you’re not using some of these tools, then you’re already falling behind.

      The use cases are endless. Creative departments can now use AI instead of engaging a graphic artist. Many copywriters can easily be replaced with ChatGPT. Services such as Fiverr will be much less necessary or useful. Why outsource a simple creative task when an AI tool can produce something better in less time?
