“Michael Cohen, the onetime fixer for former President Donald Trump, said in newly unsealed court papers that he had mistakenly given his lawyer bogus legal citations after the artificial intelligence program Google Bard cooked them up for him,” the New York Times reports.
“The fictitious citations were then used in a motion provided to a Manhattan federal judge.
”“The revelation could have serious implications for the Manhattan criminal case against Mr. Trump, in which Mr. Cohen is expected to serve as the star witness. The former president’s lawyers have long attacked Mr. Cohen as a serial fabulist; now, they will have a brand-new example.”
