An appellate court in Florida has added its voice to the judicial backlash against careless use of generative AI in legal work. In Lisandrillo v. Palozzi, Justice Gross of the Florida Court of Appeal criticized the filings submitted by counsel, describing them as 'AI slop' and noting that they were long, disjointed, and full of gibberish.
The court's opinion suggests the problems were not merely cosmetic: the briefs were so unfocused that they failed to present a coherent argument. The judge's blunt language highlights a growing concern among courts that lawyers are submitting AI-generated text without adequate review.
Although this is one decision from a single state court, it is a notable example of judges confronting low-quality AI output in litigation. For attorneys, the message is clear: AI tools can help with drafting, but they do not replace the lawyer's duty to ensure every filing is accurate, focused, and comprehensible.
