[LINK] AI Citation Errors Spark Legal Battle: Anthropic Faces Lawsuit Over Inaccurate References

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Inspector Morse (TV series) was lying in a hospital bed and given a book 
which researched case a 100 years earlier. He ordered two exumations. A 
couple both thought buried, were not and faked both deaths (they were a 
magic act by occupation). Replacing her body in a river with a body of 
another woman "they found".

Canal Boat Ferry men were convicted and one hung on grounds "they did 
not go to church on sundays" (probably as they were working). Putting 
lipstick on the pig, perhaps also they could not produce churchgoers as 
alibis.
