An anti-deepfake declaration may have been written by AI

A disinformation expert submitted an affidavit citing sources that don’t exist — and may be the result of LLM ‘hallucinations.’ A federal lawsuit in Minnesota challenges the state’s deepfake law, with attorneys claiming that an affidavit supporting the law contains AI-generated “hallucinations.” Cited studies in the affidavit, including ones on deepfakes and misinformation, cannot be found in any credible sources. This raises questions about the accuracy of the affidavit, especially since much of the content lacks clear methodology or logic.
