Plaintiff sanctioned for hiding invisible AI prompts in court filings

A plaintiff in Connecticut embedded invisible prompt injections (3-point white text on white background) in court filings to manipulate a potential AI review system. Although the court stated it does not use AI for review, Judge Spader compared the act to tampering with a jury and revoked the plaintiff's electronic filing privileges. The court ruled that the intent alone justified the sanctions.
