The ChatGPT Lawyer Explains Himself (Sort of)
[Excerpts; blogger Comments in bold red italics]
By Benjamin Weiser and Nate Schweber

Steven A. Schwartz told a judge considering sanctions that the episode had been “deeply embarrassing.”
(And the rest of you,
open your Bibles to Ecclesiastes 3):
To everything,
(Turn, turn, turn),
There is a season,
(Turn, turn, turn),
And a time for every purpose
under heaven.
To everything
(Turn, turn, turn), There is a season
(Turn, turn, turn),
A time to gain, a time to lose
I swear it’s not too late . . .
A time to sow, a time to reap, A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace,
This doesn’t pass the smell test . . .

[Have you had “anomalous experiences” like this skeptic did? I have; but those are other stories. Here’s one that was recounted in Scientific American, where skepticism is (appropriately) an article of faith. “Anomalous experiences” (aka synchronicity, serendipity, coincidence, fate, luck, destiny, Providence, etc.) are by definition non-scientific, as they can’t be replicated like all successful experiments. But unique events are not ipso facto meaningless, as this charming account shows.]
