ChatGPT-using lawyer punished for citing fake testimony from made-up witnesses

The New Mexico Supreme Court found defense attorney Stephen Aarons in direct contempt for filing an appellate brief that included fabricated witness testimony and inaccurate descriptions of legal precedent after he used ChatGPT to summarize trial materials. The court referred him to a disciplinary board, fined him $5,000, and ordered new counsel for the defendant while striking prior briefs from the record.
