Court Filing Includes AI-Generated Motion Language
In State v. Stroup, a defendant's filing recently included apparent generative-AI–produced motion language and template text, prompting the prosecutor to move to strike under local rule 3(G) requiring disclosure. Missoulian reporter Griffen Smith published the filing showing paste-ready templates, S3 upload links, and duplicated captions, while Office of Public Defender administrator Brian Smith said the AI language was inadvertently included.
Key Points
- 1Identifies AI-generated template language in State v. Stroup filing, including paste-ready motions and S3 links.
- 2Shows potential professional-risk and rule violation under local rule 3(G) requiring AI-use disclosure.
- 3Urges attorneys to review filings thoroughly and disclose generative-AI use to avoid sanctions.
Scoring Rationale
Documented court filing evidences AI-disclosure risk; limited to a single case and local reporting reduces systemic impact.
