After ChatGPT misled him into believing he had killed two of his sons and received a 21-year prison sentence, a Norwegian father filed a complaint.
In a letter to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Arve Hjalmar Holmen demanded that OpenAI, the company that created the chatbot, pay a fee.
The most recent instance of so-called “hallucinations” occurs when artificial intelligence (AI) systems fabricate information and pass it off as fact.
Mr. Holmen says this hallucination is damaging to him.
“Some think that there is no smoke without fire – the fact that someone could read this output and believe it is true is what scares me the most,” he said.
OpenAI says this case relates to a previous version of ChatGPT and it has since updated its models.
