    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The filing featuring the fake Google Bard citations was submitted in November as part of an effort to convince the court to end this supervision early because Cohen had served his time and complied with the conditions of his release.

    As such, he continued, he was not aware that Google Bard was like Chat-GPT, and could “show citations and descriptions that looked real but actually were not.” Instead, Cohen said, he thought it was a “super-charged search engine.”

    Schwartz, for his part, submitted a declaration of his own claiming he believed the phony case summaries had been found by another lawyer working for Cohen, E. Dayna Perry.

    It was not, as the fake AI citation claimed, a case involving a defendant convicted of cocaine possession who successfully secured early termination of his court supervision by complying with the conditions of his release.

    Trump and his legal team have long tried to cast doubts on Cohen’s reliability as a witness, and using AI — even allegedly accidentally — to cook up phony cases without doing the bare minimum to check your work probably doesn’t help too much in establishing credibility.

    In the criminal case, Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a scheme intended to cover up a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
