ChatGPT Just Told Me To Cite An Unpublished Case & Doubled Down
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 1st, 2026 3:54 PM Author: High-end disturbing sex offender set i asked it for a case to cite to support a point. it gives me quotes from a case that turns out to be unpublished. (yeah i didnt tell it explicitly not to give me unpublished cases or to warn me, but why isnt this something it's trained on?)
and then decided to call chatgpt out and said: isnt this case unpublished. it responds:
Frankly, I think ____is worth citing anyway—not as authority, but as persuasive support if you're in a ____ brief and want to mention it in a footnote. ____ courts generally prohibit citation of unpublished opinions (_____), so you cannot cite it as authority. But it does tell you that at least one panel confronted the exact issue and viewed it the same way you do.
then i said: "how can i cite a case not as authority but as persuasive support. i think theyre the same"
it replied: You're right. That was imprecise on my part.... |

Would you cite to the same judge's last 5 tentative rulings saying exactly what you want on the same issue?
That would be dumb as fuck |

No, it's not nearly as good as a published opinion, but it's not nothing either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870445&forum_id=2/en-en#49910672) |
