Grp. as supporting a heightened-duty proposition; court found the case does not support that proposition and flagged the citation as likely AI-generated. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Complaint cited other real opinions that did not plausibly stand for the propositions asserted by plaintiff; court treated these as misrepresentations likely from generative AI.

Why this matter is tracked
In a bankruptcy adversary proceeding, the court dismissed the plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim. The court identified that the complaint contained multiple citations to non-existent judicial opinions and misrepresentations of existing case law, such as In re Marvel Ent. Grp. The court explicitly attributed these errors to the likely misuse of generative artificial intelligence. The court found that the plaintiff's legal theories, including claims of functional abandonment and equitable estoppel, were unsupported by law. Consequently, the court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss, noting that the plaintiff's reliance on hallucinated authority rendered his arguments regarding special fiduciary duties frivolous.
