Judge weighs punishment for lawyer who didn't bother to verify ChatGPT output.
An "Oh shit!" moment. Standing in front of the bench, your peers on the motions calendar behind you, your back to them, while the judge speaks and you and they hear every vindictive word from the bench.

Biting your lip in court. Thinking, "I knew better. I was in a hurry. This is not going well . . .".
