A Bamba 3-pointer closed an 8-2 stretch with 4:15 remaining to increase Oregon's lead to 73-63. San Diego State did not get closer than eight points the rest of the way. Davis fouled out with 31 seconds left and Oregon leading 77-68. --Field Level MediaA Stanford University in a federal court case in Minnesota for submitting a sworn declaration that contained made-up information has blamed an artificial intelligence chatbot. And the bot generated more errors than the one highlighted by the plaintiffs in the case, professor Jeff Hancock wrote in an apologetic court filing, saying he did not intend to mislead the court or any lawyers. “I express my sincere regret for any confusion this may have caused,” Hancock wrote. Lawyers for a YouTuber and Minnesota state legislator suing to overturn a Minnesota law said in a court filing last month that Hancock’s expert-witness declaration contained a reference to a study, by authors Huang, Zhang, Wang, that did not exist. They believed Hancock had used a chatbot in preparing the 12-page document, and called for the submission to be thrown out because it might contain more, undiscovered AI fabrications. It did: After the lawyers called out Hancock, he found two other AI “hallucinations” in his declaration, according to his filing in Minnesota District Court. The professor, founding director of the Stanford Social Media Lab, was brought into the case by Minnesota’s attorney general as an expert defense witness in a lawsuit by the state legislator and the satirist YouTuber. The lawmaker and the social-media influencer are seeking a court order declaring unconstitutional a state law criminalizing election-related, AI-generated “deepfake” photos, video and sound. Hancock’s legal imbroglio illustrates one of the most common , a technology that has since San Francisco’s OpenAI released its in November 2022. The AI chatbots and image generators often produce errors known as hallucinations, which in text can involve misinformation, and in images, absurdities like six-fingered hands. In his regretful filing with the court, Hancock — who studies AI’s effects on misinformation and trust — detailed how his use of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to produce his expert submission led to the errors. Hancock confessed that in addition to the fake study by Huang, Zhang, Wang, he had also included in his declaration “a nonexistent 2023 article by De keersmaecker & Roets,” plus four “incorrect” authors for another study. Seeking to bolster his credibility with “specifics” of his expertise, Hancock claimed in the filing that he co-wrote “the foundational piece” on communication mediated by AI. “I have published extensively on misinformation in particular, including the psychological dynamics of misinformation, its prevalence, and possible solutions and interventions,” Hancock wrote. He used ChatGPT 4.0 to help find and summarize articles for his submission, but the errors likely got in later when he was drafting the document, Hancock wrote in the filing. He had inserted the word “cite” into the text he gave the chatbot, to remind himself to add academic citations to points he was making, he wrote. “The response from GPT-4o, then, was to generate a citation, which is where I believe the hallucinated citations came from,” Hancock wrote, adding that he believed the chatbot also made up the four incorrect authors. Related Articles Hancock had declared under penalty of perjury that he “identified the academic, scientific, and other materials referenced” in his expert submission, the YouTuber and legislator said in their Nov. 16 filing. That filing also questioned Hancock’s reliability as an expert witness. Hancock, in apologizing to the court, asserted that the three errors, “do not impact any of the scientific evidence or opinions” he presented as an expert. The judge in the case has set a Dec. 17 hearing to determine whether Hancock’s expert declaration should be thrown out, and whether the Minnesota attorney general can file a corrected version of the submission. Stanford, where students can be for using a chatbot to “ ” without permission from their instructor, did not immediately respond to questions about whether Hancock would face disciplinary measures. Hancock did not immediately respond to similar questions. Hancock is not the first to submit a court filing containing AI-generated nonsense. Last year, lawyers Steven A. Schwartz and Peter LoDuca were fined $5,000 each in federal court in New York for submitting a personal-injury lawsuit filing that contained fake past court cases invented by ChatGPT to back up their arguments. “I did not comprehend that ChatGPT could fabricate cases,” Schwartz told the judge.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Walking back remarks is one thing. Getting obliterated by the Los Angeles Chargers at home, and having fans chant “Fire Mayo” is another. The long-held belief has been that Jerod Mayo, who was hired to replace Bill Belichick, would be retained even after a rocky rookie season at the helm. Given Mayo was put in a bad spot his first year, inheriting one of the worst rosters in the NFL, and needed help filling out his staff given his lack of coaching contacts, it’s been both assumed and reported he would return for 2025. He would be afforded another chance, and more time -- with added help -- to right the ship. After what transpired during Saturday’s 40-7 Week 17 loss to the Chargers, however, the Krafts need to think long and hard about running it back with Mayo. He was reportedly safe barring what the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport described as “some type of calamity.” Or as Rapoport put it the previous week: “If things go off the rails.” Well, that box just got checked off. Inside Gillette Stadium, the product on the field could be lumped into the calamitous category. Off the rails is another way of putting it. It was an embarrassing display. Instead of building off last week’s performance against Buffalo, the Patriots reversed course. With one game still to play, they hit rock bottom. Along with the “Fire Mayo” chants, the fans booed the team off the field. “Look. you hear those things,” Mayo said. “But at the same time, they pay to sit in those seats and we’ve got to play better. If we play better, we don’t have to hear that stuff.” There’s also been an expectation for him to coach better. It hasn’t happened. Perhaps the thinking is that Mayo won’t seem so overmatched next year with better players and better coaches around him. Can ownership count on that happening? Can the Krafts even count on fans paying good money to watch a Mayo-led Patriots team again? Those are the questions they have to be weighing. Robert and Jonathan Kraft surely heard the chants from their luxury box above the field. Granted, a team’s chief decision-makers shouldn’t make moves based on the frustrations of fans. This cuts deeper than that. Mayo has flunked both the eye test and the ear test. How can he announce he’s starting Antonio Gibson against the Chargers and benching fumble-prone Rhamondre Stevenson, and claim to be sending a message, then start Stevenson? And why would a coach continue to play Drake Maye, who returned after sustaining a head injury, with the game out of hand? Those are just the latest of many curious moves the first-year head coach has made throughout the season. Beyond that, save for the emergence of Maye, the product on the field has shown no signs of progress or improvement. Last week’s effort against the Bills was rendered moot. It’s now more plausible that the Bills took their foot off the gas pedal until it was time to win the game. The Chargers, meanwhile, just kept the foot on the gas throughout, and the Patriots did little to stop them. They just rolled over. “The Chargers probably wanted it more,” wide receiver Demario Douglas said. “I feel like my two years I’ve been losing, and I feel like it’s time to make a change. ... I’m just tired of losing for real.” Defensive end Keion White also talked about needing change, although he didn’t specify where that change needed to be made. “We’re losing, so obviously, we gotta change something,” White said following the team’s sixth straight loss. “If you keep doing the same thing, you keep losing.” For the most part, the players have openly supported Mayo. Following the blowout loss, several even chastised fans for the “Fire Mayo” chants. “With all respect to Patriot Nation, they’re a little spoiled. We don’t appreciate the boos. We don’t appreciate the outburst (against Mayo),” Patriots captain Deatrich Wise said. “If you’re a fan, be a fan with us through thick and thin.” Defensive lineman Davon Godchaux was another who found the chants out-of-line. “A lot of people can’t take (a rebuild). I know we don’t tank around here. We still want to win football games. But the ‘Fire Mayo’ chants is just ridiculous,” Godchaux said. “The guy (is in) his first year, his first season. It’s not going to be golden. We didn’t expect to go win a Super Bowl this year. I get it, nobody wants to get beat 40-7, but the ‘Fire Mayo’ chants is just ridiculous.” Will the Kraft’s feel the same way? Will they ignore the pleas of the crowd? That’s the million dollar question. Mayo has made a habit of stepping in too many minefields. He’s been transparent to a fault, and comes across as if he doesn’t know what he’s doing having to constantly retract comments. His in-game decision making has also been suspect. Then there’s the product on the field. His defense -- where his expertise lies -- has been a disaster. Last week’s effort against the Bills notwithstanding, the unit was supposed to be the rock. It was supposed to be the team’s strong suit. That hasn’t been the case. With a 40-7 win, the Chargers scored their season high. They weren’t alone. Houston and Miami also hit their highest point totals against the Patriots. Asked what gives him confidence that his defensive coaching staff is suited to be at the helm next season, Mayo didn’t flinch. “Look, I have nothing but confidence in the coaching staff, and we’ll get better,” Mayo said. “That’s part of what we have to do.” But that’s been a broken record response pretty much all season after inconsistent play. Saturday’s debacle merely hit the breaking point. With one game to play, the ball’s in the Kraft’s court. They have to decide whether or not Mayo survives the latest fiasco.

While Clippers Nation and other parts of the NBA world await the return of star Kawhi Leonard, his teammates haven’t been sitting idly while his right knee recovers. They have won games that they had no business winning and are taking care of games that they should win – all without their star player. The Clippers are 18-13 and have a chance to improve upon that during a three-game trip that begins Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kawhi? “We’re not thinking about Kawhi coming back yet,” center Ivica Zubac said, in a moment of honesty. When Leonard does return – Jan. 4 reportedly is a good bet – he will find a Clippers team that has developed a solid chemistry, come to rely on James Harden for leadership and Norman Powell for points and built a reputation for stingy defense. “We want to win games, we want to win every game no matter who’s out there and we got it done,” Zubac added. “No matter how it looks, we gotta win. We’re going to play hard; we’re going to defend. “Some nights we’re not going to shoot well, or we’re not going to defend, but one thing we can do every night is play defense. That’s what this team is going to do, we’re going to play hard and play tough on the defensive end and that’s going to give us a chance to win.’ With or without Leonard. “We just focus on what we can control and be in the moment,” Harden said. “Whenever that happens, (we’ll) get to that bridge when it comes. But we’re focused on the next game and the games that we’re in.” Don’t mistake the players’ insouciant attitude for not caring about their superstar teammate. They want Leonard back but can’t get caught up in the hoopla and speculation. They have at least three more games to play without Leonard, who stayed behind to get in more reps before the Clippers’ next home game. “It’s been next man up all year,” said Powell, who is averaging 24.4 points and shooting 46.6% from the 3-point range in Leonard’s absence. “When Kawhi comes back, they’ll figure it out. That’s not our job. Our job is to figure out our new roles and make it all work. “We all are pulling in the same direction. We all continue trying to prove everybody wrong and how they view us, and the job is to be ready for a deep playoff run. That’s how we see it.” When Leonard does return, (Jan. 4 has been rumored) there certainly will be changes in the lineup, players will need to sacrifice either minutes, points or both. “Everybody’s going to have to sacrifice and Kawhi comes back,” Powell added. “I mean, he’s a franchise player, but good thing about this team is we have no egos. We all want to win. We all got something to prove and we’re doing it together.” Harden said Leonard is aware how his comeback could upset what has been building all season. But the veteran point guard believes Leonard’s return will be seamless. The Clippers will continue to play aggressive defense and attack the basket. “We’re still going to put it the same way. It’s just now we got another elite weapon on both ends of the floor, so it’s definitely a bonus for us.”
