What do you want to bet AI generated “evidence” has already been used in court?

It's possible, but it's not that easy. Due to chain of evidence and each new evidence introduced is done under oath and under the penalty of perjury. So for someone to do that it really has to be department wide objective and the procecutors to be either incompetent or also complicit and then the court staff to be fooled along with the judge. Most evidence is also public in the court records, so anyone can see it and media often shares it to even wider audience.

The level of transparancy state courts offer is hands down the best thing about US "justice" system. Well mostly the only good thing, but still.
