The AI lawyer trap 🤯

The AI lawyer trap 🤯 A man representing himself in court allegedly hid prompt injections inside his legal filings, using tiny white text on a white background to manipulate any AI system reviewing his case into siding with him. The hidden instructions reportedly told the AI to agree with his arguments and rule in his favor. Court staff eventually caught it, but even after a warning, the judge found more hidden messages in later filings. In his defense he said it was an “audit” to test whether the court was secretly using AI. The court wasn’t impressed. His electronic filing privileges were revoked, meaning he now has to submit every document the old-fashioned way: on paper. 😂 @aipost 🏴
