Australian prosecutors allege a Sydney man used generative AI to create scraper code for bulk-downloading 8,769 restricted documents from a NSW courts website, then asked ChatGPT for legal advice before being charged. Christopher John Duff, 40, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of accessing restricted data. Prosecutors plan to rely on ChatGPT conversations and forensic testimony in what is believed to be an Australian first, raising novel questions about generative AI as evidence of motive and alleged offending.
