3 hours agoThe judge dismisses the lawsuit against the federal agency, claiming that the plaintiff wrote a complaint to the AIA. A judge in Arizona dismissed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture after determining that the plaintiff used AI to draft a 67-page complaint against the government, according to court documents. U.S. District Judge Krissa M. Lanham dismissed Shelly George’s lawsuit against Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday, writing “the complaint appears to have been generated by artificial intelligence (“AI”), as it resembles other AI-generated complaints. “The complaint is not ‘a brief, plain statement of claim showing that the plaintiff is entitled to relief,'” Lanham wrote. “Rather, it contains voluminous factual allegations that They are difficult to follow, repetitive and do not seem necessary. The complaint also contains discussions of applicable law and references many exhibits that are not attached,” he added. The complaint is known as a “shotgun pleading,” according to court documents. “It is not the job of the district courts to make sense of the pleading, provide facts to support the claim, or imagine claims that might fit the facts,” Lanham wrote. Lanham allowed George to write an amended complaint, however, he stipulated that it must be less than 25 pages and George will not be allowed use artificial intelligence to draft it. “George must personally draft the allegations he deems relevant to his claims and identify the claims he wishes to file,” Lanham wrote.
