Kindt and Oni unveil 100% Human-Made logo Kindt's design, promising an AI-free product, is free to use under a Creative Commons license, and will debut with the new MIND MGMT series.

In the same way modern food in America is produced across a spectrum that runs from organic fruit to Doritos, comics will develop a range of designations, depending on the level of AI or human involvement in the project. This might be the beginning of that process. www.comicsbeat.com/kindt-oni-an...

"Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available."

Here, Attorney has wasted the time and resources of this Court and the Government due to his failure to verify, at multiple points in time, authorities that he submitted to this Court; his doubling-down on that conduct by submitting yet another brief in which he characterized his complete lack of legal research as a “good faith effort;” his characterization of the misrepresentations as “immaterial” and related to “tangential details,” although having never read the authorities and having no basis to make such assertions, Reply Br. 14; and his failure to timely verify and report his knowledge of inaccuracies. Moreover, Attorney has harmed his credibility with this Court. As Attorney signed his brief and submitted it as an officer of the Court, this Court initially credited Attorney with earnest, but mistaken, efforts in offering legal authority to this Court. It was highly disappointing to learn that Attorney’s status as an officer of the Court did not prevent him from blindly submitting erroneous authority and to learn that this Court’s confidence in him was misplaced.

Oh boy. 3d Cir. imposes sanctions against attorney who used AI to prepare a brief "riddled with factual and legal inaccuracies, and then, after being notified, used AI to prepare a second brief with the same problems.

Attorney reprimanded.
