Pro se litigants [people representing themselves in court without a lawyer] account for the majority of the cases in the United States where a party submitted a court filing containing AI hallucinations. In a country where legal representation is unaffordable for most people, it is no wonder that pro se litigants are depending on free or low-cost AI tools. But it is a scandal that so many have been betrayed by them, to the detriment of the cases they are litigating all on their own.
