Man files complaint against ChatGPT after it falsely claimed he murdered his children


Norwegian national Arve Hjalmar Holmen contacted the Norwegian Data Protection Authority after he decided to see what ChatGPT knew about him.

Advising people to put glue on pizza and eat rocks is one thing, but ChatGPT falsely telling a man he had spent 21 years in prison for killing his two sons is a lot more serious. While the story was entirely fabricated, there were elements of Holmen's life that ChatGPT got right, including the number and gender of his children, their approximate ages, and the name of his hometown, making the false claims about murder all the more sinister. Noyb is asking the Datatilsynet to order OpenAI to delete the defamatory data about Holmen and fine-tune its model to eliminate inaccurate results about individuals, which would be no simple task.
