Who Put the Bots in the Tort$?
by T. C. Morrison
Part 4 of the Pap and Pup Peters series
"Pap" and "Pup" Peters, those intrepid tort lawyers whose zany exploits have delighted readers of Tort$ "R" Us, Please Pass The Tort$ and Send In The Tort Lawyer$, return with yet another round of legal shenanigans guaranteed to make you laugh until you weep.Their latest antics take them into the brave new world of artificial intelligence: a massive lawsuit against two Super Pacs who poured money into the campaign of a New York Congressman whose entire persona was generated by an AI program; and a lawsuit on behalf of sultry actresses and models, including the unforgettable Lydia Lowlace, whose voices have been appropriated for a series of female chatbots who provide comfort, and lots of sexual innuendo, to lonely men. In one of their most creative lawsuits ever, they pursue three leading auction houses who purchased and then resold expensive jewelry and watches stolen from the rich and famous by the "Gentleman Thief" and his bogus Swiss heiress girlfriend. And Mona Lott makes yet another appearance in her ongoing feud with her small Connecticut town over lawn mowing. A graduate of Otterbein University (Ohio) and New York University Law School, T. C. Morrison spent his 50-year legal career writing briefs and trying cases around the country for a series of New York City law firms.
