A state supreme court held a lawyer in contempt this month for filing a brief containing testimony from four witnesses who do not exist. Most coverage made it a story about ChatGPT. Read the actual order and the chatbot is a single neutral sentence in paragraph three.

The finding is in paragraph five. He did not verify the factual claims and legal authority in the brief before signing it and filing it.

That is a workflow with a produce step and a filing step and nothing in between, and it is the same shape as almost every assignment in higher education right now. Your students hit submit, and submit is a signature, and nobody has ever told them what it covers.

The piece works through what the order actually says, who really paid for it, and what a verification step looks like when you build one.
