MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's lawyers use AI for court filing, push to move defamation trial
Lawyers representing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell have asked a judge to postpone the defamation trial against him after mistakenly filing a document made with artificial intelligence.
In an April 28 filing with the U.S. District Court for Colorado, Christopher Kachouroff and Jennifer DeMaster, the attorneys for MyPillow and Lindell, requested to push the proceedings to "ensure a fair trial and adequate preparation."
Last week, federal Judge Nina Wang questioned the attorneys' use of generative AI in a February filing. Kachouroff said he uses generative AI to analyze documents, but said the filing was a draft that was mistakenly submitted to the court due to "human error."
In Monday's motion, the lawyers said they have experienced "reputational harm, emotional distress, and significant distractions from trial preparation" because of last week's hearing about the mistaken filing.

That's one I haven't heard before -- "We're unprepared for trial because we fucked up our filings, so we request the start date be rescheduled to some later date."
