Will there be federal regulations against the use of text-generation AI models like GPT in some federal submissions?

NO

Federal submissions = tax forms, federal grant applications, amicus curiae briefs, studies and statements submitted to Congress, etc

(Regulations only have to apply to one of those or something that counts as a "submission to the federal government" for the bet to resolve yes.)

Alright, while I can find some internal agency policies against LLMs, I haven't found anything about banning it in some kind of federal submission, so in the absence of counterexamples, I'm resolving this No.

Anyone know if anything like this happened yet? Getting close to the end of the year.

@Imuli What should I look at in the link?

predicted YES

and then


"Let Steven Schwartz show cause at the hearing of June 8, 2023 why he ought not be sanctioned pursuant to (1) Rule 11(b)(2) & (c), Fed. R. Civ. P., (2) 28 U.S.C. § 1927, and (3) the inherent power of the Court and referred to the Attorney Grievance Committee of the Appellate Division, First Department, and/or the Committee on Grievances of this District for aiding and causing (A) the citation of non-existent cases to the Court in the Affirmation in Opposition filed on March 1, 2023; (B) the submission to the Court of copies of non-existent judicial opinions annexed to the Affidavit filed on April 25, 2023; and (C) the use of a false and fraudulent notarization in the affidavit filed on April 25, 2023.1"

tl;dr a junior lawyer used ChatGPT to "find" relevant cases, failed to notice that they didn't exist, the client's lawyer also failed to notice, but the defendants' lawyer notice , and the prosecution now needs to explain themselves to the court.

@Imuli I'm familiar with the case. It was all over the news. It seems like the issue was more about submitting citations to fake cases than using ChatGPT per se.

Next time, just cut to the chase. No one wants to read 10,000 words without knowing the one relevant sentence you're linking it for.

bought Ṁ10 of YES

ah, bought and instantly sold because I misread the close date

@L I'd expect this by 2025 but I'm not sure about 2024, bureaucracy always has trouble with such things
