[What a mix: Scientology, John Kucera, Danny Masterson and AI errors]
We told you recently that we could understand why Scientology was asking California’s Second Appellate District what had happened to sanctions for a troubling set of AI blunders that had turned up in the lawsuit between Danny Masterson’s victims and the Church of Scientology (a case that is known as Bixler v. Scientology).
The court had handed the plaintiffs in that lawsuit, the Jane Doe victims of Masterson, a huge and nearly total victory, which should eventually result in that case getting back on track and lead to an even more robust suit against the church.
But along the way, an attorney for the Jane Does, former Boies Schiller partner John Kucera, admitted that hallucinatory AI citations had turned up in one of the firm’s briefs in the case, something that Scientology had pointed out and brought to the court’s attention.
The appeals court indicated that it was considering sanctions against Kucera for that blunder, but then during oral arguments on March 3 the subject of artificial intelligence didn’t come up, and nothing was said about it in the court’s decisive ruling for the Jane Does.
After a few weeks, Scientology filed a petition for a rehearing with the court, asking what had happened to the AI issue, but the appeals court denied the petition without comment.
So now, Scientology has petitioned the state supreme court about the matter, but it is asking for more than simply clarification on the AI issue. It’s not only asking the California Supreme Court for review of why the Second Appellate District didn’t punish Kucera, it’s also throwing in an issue it’s still hopping mad about from the appeals court’s ruling in the Masterson lawsuit.
