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.

      hmm, true enough. But in my mind there’s a clear difference between showing information unedited and referring to its source, and this.

        Most LLM these days show what they searched for generating the post, but not many seem to manually validate the summary of the LLM by clicking on those links…
