The defenses of the person pentesting the court system have the same sort of energy, for theoretical example, hacking in-flight WiFi for the lulz and then claiming to have done the airline a favor by exposing their weaknesses for repair. Systems of authority tend to react poorly to pentests, whether authorized or unauthorized, and very poorly to the appearance of retconning the satisfaction of one’s desired outcome as altruistic intent.

The court documents are supposed to be read by a human, not by AI so hiding a prompt invisible to human to discourage AI usage is absolutely fair. But it seems that the judge has different view on what is fair and assumes that it is ok not to read the documents manually and just give them to a computer.
