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.

      If you have a service, and that service is generating things that harm people, you should have to stop it.

        We value the gains both immediate and presumed more than the harm

          Surely. Otherwise it’d be shut down. Like they did with my gun machine :-(
