A Norwegian man said he was horrified to discover that ChatGPT outputs had falsely accused him of murdering his own children.
According to a complaint filed Thursday by European Union digital rights advocates Noyb, Arve Hjalmar Holmen decided to see what information ChatGPT might provide if a user searched his name. He was shocked when ChatGPT responded with outputs falsely claiming that he was sentenced to 21 years in prison as “a convicted criminal who murdered two of his children and attempted to murder his third son,” a Noyb press release said.

I mean, the guy is right, because it’s advertised as “artificial intelligence”.
Were it advertised as word salad generator, a Markovian chain grown big and scary, something in principle similar to programs for generation of fantasy language texts and spells and names (if someone remembers 00s good old web) for roleplaying, - then there would be no problem.
But if to sell something better you lie what it is, and that lie has social consequences, you should get sued to freezing hot inferno with mustard-greased giant-cockroach-dildo-covered walls. You should also probably face criminal charges.
People thinking a glorified autocorrect is a source of factual information is horrifying.
that’s what was advertised. To most people, computers are actual arcane magic, impossible to understand except by the wizards in IT who can do anything.
Of course people believed it.
Yeah, similar to Tesla “full self driving”.
No, you see where he grew up it was a common expression that meant you drive it yourself!
It couldn’t possibly be expected to mean what any sane person would think.
The fuckin’ Pedo Guy.
