Brantley Starr

[Generative artificial intelligence] platforms in their current states are prone to hallucinations and bias. On hallucinations, they make stuff up—even quotes and citations. Another issue is reliability or bias. While attorneys swear an oath to set aside their personal prejudices, biases, and beliefs to faithfully uphold the law and represent their clients, generative artificial intelligence is the product of programming devised by humans who did not have to swear such an oath. As such, these systems hold no allegiance to any client, the rule of law, or the laws and Constitution of the United States (or, as addressed above, the truth). Unbound by any sense of duty, honor, or justice, such programs act according to computer code rather than conviction, based on programming rather than principle.

In August 2023, Starr ordered three Southwest Airlines lawyers to attend religious-liberty training by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). [12] The ADF is a conservative Christian legal advocacy group which is "committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, marriage and family, parental rights, and the sanctity of life." [13] It opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and the decriminalization of same-sex sexual activity. The Southern Poverty Law Center designates ADF as an anti-LGBT hate group. [14]
