  1. You can ask Google to take down malicious requests for your name. With ChatGPT it’s never guaranteed.
  2. ChatGPT is often used as a search engine so anything wrong it says IS spreading bullshit online.

  Despite what others are saying there is indeed an inaccuracy in calling this a privacy complaint. A lot of people outside of the EU conflate privacy with data protection, but they are not the same and GDPR does not concern with privacy but exclusively with personal data protection.

  Accuracy, availability and governance of personal data are indeed important criteria for data protection, and this is what this is about.

  Regarding people making shit up, if they make such things public, GDPR governs those just as much, while still referring to the normal legislation for the charges for slander.

  1. Is this a quirk of the fediverse?

  The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy

  2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I’d want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.

  If it’s a one of hallucination, it’s not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent ‘hard baked’ hallucination.

    The headline is what says there’s a privacy complaint.

  1. It doesn’t. I’m with you there.
  2. Many countries in Europe have very strong anti-defamation laws, unlike in the US. What you are allowed to say about people is very different from what you are allowed to say about practically anything else. Since OpenAI is in control of the model, it is their responsibility to ensure it doesn’t produce results like these.

  1. It can be viewed as part of your privacy to not be subject to defamation.
  2. If it reaches the threshold of defamation it is punishable. Whether its enforcement is feasible is another matter.

    It is literally not. He chatted with it, it always gives some answer. This is not privacy related. It is made up in a private chat.
