OK, I couldn't resist. I typed my name and location into ChatGPT and it came up with info I am working in sustainability and I started a company called the "Green Lion". I asked for a website, and the link was broken. Freaky. It also gave an instagram address. It even had products. Then I accused it of making it up and it apologised #AI #machineHallucination #ChatGPT

Privacy group files complaint after ChatGPT invents "defamatory" child murder story.

Privacy group Noyb has filed a complaint today against OpenAI for “allowing” its model to invent a "defamatory" child murder story about a Norwegian user.

"By knowingly allowing ChatGPT to produce defamatory results, the company clearly violates the GDPR’s principle of data accuracy," Noyb said.

Probably everyone has googled his own name to see what "the Internet" knows about you.

What if you asked a chatbot about yourself and it answered with a few correct pieces of information – and it lied in your face that you murdered two of your children and spent 21 years in prison?

@noybeu is supporting a Norwegian father to help that false data removed from #ChatGPT. Actually removed, not the existing disclaimer à la "may be inaccurate" or preventing output.

Ars Technica · Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kidsBy Ashley Belanger

ChatGPT is a real head scratcher. Today I prompted it for DoD- and NSA-grade Linux security, it gave me some good info for extreme security configurations. Then it asked me if I wanted it as an Ansible playbook.

The result? The 85-line configuration file it provided wouldn't have even passed compliance to a Level 1 CIS Benchmark.

A government directed by ChatGPT?

Something of which they have little knowledge (other than it seems to produce the right words), no control over the sources/data/slgorithms... What do we have to loose?

Revealed: How the UK tech secretary uses ChatGPT for policy advice
New Scientist has used freedom of information laws to obtain the ChatGPT records of Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, in what is believed to be a world-first use of such legislation
From https://www.newscientist.com/article/2472068-revealed-how-the-uk-tech-secretary-uses-chatgpt-for-policy-advice/
These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt AI. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.
Apparently it didn't say "because it's unhelpful and probably harmful to most SMB problems" or "what on earth are you doing asking a computer this you fool?".

These are not serious people, and they do not understand the technological world they have been voted in to regulate. The Tech Bros will just dangle shiny things in front of these unserious politicians and there goes our Future.

"Oh Chat GPT, which podcasts should I go on? I could ask a human being with a mind, but instead I'll ask Fancy Autocorrect for the most likely answer that I want to hear"

"#ChatGPT, for instance, incorrectly identified 134 articles, but signaled [sic] a lack of confidence just fifteen times out of its two hundred responses, and never declined to provide an answer. With the exception of #Copilot—which declined more questions than it answered—all of the tools were consistently more likely to provide an incorrect answer than to acknowledge limitations"
