Why this matter warrants attention
Outcome: Arguments discounted; No formal sanction but strong judicial criticism.
The Court emphasized that judicial proceedings demand verifiable, fact-based arguments. AI outputs that lack transparency (particularly about the underlying prompt and methodology) cannot serve as a substitute for evidence. The judgment explicitly notes that reliance on ChatGPT statements without verifiability "does not affect" the Court’s reasoning or the tax authority's burden of proof
Log every ChatGPT prompt and output; unverifiable AI statements carry zero evidentiary weight.
