Top-tier law firm Lim, Ng & Bots has defended its decision to let an AI chatbot draft a multi-million dollar commercial suit, arguing that the software’s “hallucinations” are still more coherent than a junior associate on a three-day bender.

The firm came under fire after a High Court judge noticed the filing cited several landmark cases that supposedly took place in a fictional underwater version of Jurong East.

Senior Partner Gerald Tan, currently on his fourth vacation this month, claimed the errors were merely “creative legal interpretations” designed to see if the judge was actually paying attention.

“To be fair, the AI only hallucinated three fake precedents,” Gerald said while practicing his golf swing in his CBD office.

“My human interns usually hallucinate an entire personality and a work ethic they don’t actually possess.”

The AI, which cost the firm $50,000 in licensing fees, reportedly began its career by correctly identifying that most Singaporean contracts are just elaborate ways to legally screw over your own family.

However, tensions rose when the bot started billing clients $1,200 an hour for the time it spent ‘processing’—the digital equivalent of a paralegal crying in the toilet.

The Law Society has yet to comment, though sources suggest they are mostly impressed the AI managed to complete a filing without asking for a mid-week break.
