Apparent AI Hallucinations in Filing from Two >500-Lawyer Firms

From Monday's decision by Judge Michael Simon (D. Ore.) in Green Building Initiative, Inc. v. Peacock:

GBI cites Stell v. Cardenas, No. 3:21-cv-413-HZ, 2022 WL 1696093, at *6 (D. Or. May 26, 2022), and Page v. Parsons, 249 F. Supp. 3d 998, 1017 (D. Or. 2017). Stell, however, is totally fake; it is an "hallucinated" case. There is no case at 2022 WL 1696093. Nor does there exist a case with the parties "Stell" and "Cardenas" (in either orientation—in the District of Oregon or elsewhere). Moreover, Case No. 3:21-cv-413 is a real case, styled JS Halberstam Irrevocable Grantor Trust v. Davis, and it was presided over by the undersigned ("SI"), not U.S. District Judge Hernández ("HZ"). Further, that case was closed by judgment on May 9, 2022, and no decision was issued on May 26, 2022.
