Indiana Judge Caught AI Errors in an Official Court Transcript and Put Reporters on Notice
In a July 23 memorandum decision, Judge Paul Felix flagged errors in an official transcript that looked like generative AI output and reminded court reporters that proofreading is their job.
The official record of a case, the thing appeals and prison sentences ride on, now comes pre-loaded with robot typos nobody bothered to read. In a memorandum decision filed July 23 about a man who sold drugs to someone who overdosed and died, Indiana Judge Paul Felix buried a footnote noting the transcript carried errors that looked a lot like generative AI, and reminded court reporters everywhere that proofreading their own work is the job. The court reporter fed a machine the sacred verbatim record, skipped the read-through, and handed a judge sludge with a certification stamp on it. 404 Media on the AI transcript
