@scottrl, thanks for the links for the resources requested by @flusshund. I hope you don't mind that I merged the 3 replies into 1 reply and provided the title and original source URL of the 3 articles rather than the Google News campaign codes (long traceable URLs).

Hi @scottrl—good catch: two of those three citations point to the same Replit fiasco. Your broader point stands, though. When anyone—whether an individual or an organization—hands over critical responsibilities to AI without verifying the output, they risk the same embarrassment those attorneys faced when they cited non-existent court cases. Ultimately, quality control is still a human responsibility.

Looking ahead, I’m convinced that people who learn to pair their expertise with AI will outpace those who don’t—perhaps sooner than we expect. The key is thoughtful integration, not blind delegation.
