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.

There's a list of names of people who have sued OpenAI, they often cause ChatGPT to shut down.

We should keep those names handy just incase cyber dogs are ever chasing us.

Certain names, including "David Mayer," "Brian Hood," "Jonathan Turley," "Jonathan Zittrain," "David Faber," and "Guido Scorza," cause ChatGPT to produce an error message and terminate the chat session, likely due to a hard-coded filter or privacy concerns.
