Sadly, as subsequently admitted in an affidavit, the court “found to be nonexistent” the following cases:

Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co Ltd, 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019) Shaboon v. Egyptair 2013 IL App (1st) 111279-U (Il App. Ct. 2013) Petersen v. Iran Air 905 F. Supp 2d 121 (D.D.C. 2012) Martinez v. Delta Airlines, Inc, 2019 WL 4639462 (Tex. App. Sept. 25, 2019) Estate of Durden v. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, 2017 WL 2418825 (Ga. Ct. App. June 5, 2017) Miller v. United Airlines, Inc, 174 F.3d 366 (2d Cir. 1999)

The “research” was complied by attorney Steven A. Schwartz, who has over three decades of experience. He stated in the affidavit that he had never used ChatGPT for legal investigation and was “unaware that its content could be false.” Screenshots in the affidavit depict the lawyer asking the chatbot, writing, “Is Varghese a real case?” and receiving the response “Yes.” The website informed the lawyer that the case could be found in “legal research databases such as LexisNexis and Westlaw” when asked for references. ChatGPT responded “No” when asked if the additional cases it gave were fraudulent, stating that they could be located in the same databases.

As entertaining as chatbots like ChatGPT can be or as sophisticated as they may appear, they are still susceptible to “hallucinations” – answers that sound perfectly coherent but have no relation to the real world.

If you are searching for a legal case that relies on real-world precedent as opposed to the hallucinations of a spicy autocomplete, it’s not a tool that you should use. The lawyer wrote that he deeply regrets using ChatGPT to supplement the legal research performed and that he will never do so again without absolute authenticity verification.

Netflix’s primary goal for 2023 is to crack down on password sharing and eventually put an end to it. It’s a move that is applauded by some viewers but causes concern for others. The streaming service wants every household that watches their shows to pay their way instead of relying on the network of informal agreements that people have.

Netflix Puts an End to Password Sharing

Many people share an account with family and friends so that they can watch Netflix on many devices. However, if this is the setup you have got, then your days of use are pretty much numbered.

Netflix claims that they have approximately 230 million subscribers. On top of that, there are about 100 million people who are watching someone else’s account. While many of these people will be watching with the permission of the person paying the bill, there will be plenty who won’t, and there are a variety of reasons why you would want to remove them.

Perhaps you’ve split up with someone and want them out of your life completely, or perhaps you have so many people sharing your account that you hardly use it yourself. Conversely, you can discover that your Netflix account is overrun with a group of strangers who have acquired access and are now streaming at no charge. An online report shows that consumers have discovered that strangers had accessed their Netflix accounts in a variety of ways.

More Control Over Who’s Watching

Someone sold a Tesla and learned that the buyer was using his account to watch Netflix, while someone else discovered that Airbnb guests who failed to log off were using their Netflix account too. The new tool allows you to remove users from your account. It can be useful in such situations. Simply go to Settings and locate the second option, titled Manage Access and Devices. You should see a list of all the locations where you’ve signed into Netflix, and you can sign out with the click of a button.

If you believe that someone is using your account without your permission, the streaming service recommends that you change the password. However, they now offer this great feature that allows you to monitor which devices are accessing your account and block them.
