(*it is not entirely clear from this news coverage whether hunky butlers has actually been sued, or has just received a C&D. "they've brought a trademark infringement against us"--ehh, i'm only 75% confident this is a lawsuit.)

Perhaps the most ridiculous "lawyer gets caught citing fake AI-hallucinated cases" episode yet. Just read the into paragraph below. The lawyer's opposition brief—to the sanctions motion about AI misuse—contained "more than double the number of mis-cites" than the original brief
