Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times. A filing unsealed on Friday says Cohen used Google’s Bard to perform research after mistaking it for “a super-charged search engine” rather than an AI chatbot.

Women are getting jailed for miscarriage

Are you talking about the Ohio woman, because she wasn't arrested for a miscarriage?

Sure, you can argue she got arrested for "abuse of a corpse", but

In September, when Watts went to the hospital in pain and passing large blood clots, doctors told her that despite some fetal cardiac activity, her roughly 22-week pregnancy was not viable. She was in and out of the hospital over the next three days, including a lengthy wait for a hospital ethics panel to determine whether her preterm pregnancy, which was on the borderline of Ohio’s abortion limit, could be induced without legal liability for the doctors. Watts eventually went home against medical advice and experienced the miscarriage on the toilet

You're leaving out the part where she tried to shove it down the toilet, then left it there for an extended period of time when that didn't work.

Yes, people afraid of going to jail for their bodily function will behave in unpredictable manners.
