In a sworn declaration made public on Fri, #MichaelCohen explained that he had not kept up w/ “emerging trends (& related #risks) in #legal #technology & did not realize that #GoogleBard was a generative text service that, like #ChatGPT, could show #citations & descriptions that looked real but actually were not.”

#MichaelCohen also said he didn’t realizethat the #lawyer filing the motion on his behalf, David M. Schwartz, “would drop the cases into his submission wholesale w/o even confirming that they existed.”
The revelation could have serious implications for the #Manhattan #criminal case against #Trump, in which Cohen is expected to serve as the star #witness. TFG’s lawyers have long attacked Cohen as a serial fabulist; now, they’ll have a new example.
