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.

The fact you chose to make your data storage unreadable, doesn’t relieve you of the responsibilities inherent to storing the data.

Throwing away my car key won’t protect me from paying parking tickets i accrue while being physically unable to move my car.

It’s not unreadable, it doesn’t exist.

The responses are just statistically what sounds vaugly what you want to hear.

They can erase the chat responses, but that won’t stop it from generating it again.

Generative AI doesn’t start with facts and work from there. It’s just statistically what you want to hear.

Then what do you mean trained AI models are?

The ai model is trained on data and encodes unknown parts of that data in its weights.

This is data storage. Unmanageable, almost unknowable data storage, but still data storage.

If it didn’t store data it couldn’t learn from its training.

Your still placing more intent and facts into those processes than actually exist.

You cant even get it to count how many letter p are in the word apple. At least not last time I tried.

That storage your talking about isn’t facts. It’s how sentences are structured and what they “mean”.

As for the output “meaning” it’s still just guessing what you want to hear. No facts involved.
