Oklahoma judge used ChatGPT in order citing nonexistent cases
Stephens County Associate District Judge Lawrence Wheeler told an Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent he used ChatGPT while preparing a 2025 paternity order that cited two nonexistent cases, according to an August 17 letter from District Attorney Jason Hicks. The OSBI investigated at the request of the Council on Judicial Complaints. The attorney general's office declined to prosecute, saying the Oklahoma Supreme Court and Court on the Judiciary retain discipline authority.
