Suspecting court of using AI, man injected prompts in filings to try to win case

A Connecticut judge, Walter Spader Jr., found that a plaintiff tried to hide AI-readable prompts in court filings to influence how an AI system would interpret the document. The decision was published last week and found the hidden text had no impact on the case. Courts weighed the filing on the merits anyway, but the judge flagged the tactic as a dangerous precedent for future cases as AI tools become more common in court systems.
