Comment on ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it

I think of ChatGPT as a “text generator”, similar to how Dall-E is an “image generator”.
If I were openai, I would post a fictitious person disclaimer at the bottom of the page and hold the user responsible for what the model does. Nobody holds Adobe responsible when someone uses Photoshop.

… or you could read the GDPR and learn that such excuses are void.

  LLMs don’t actually store any of their training data, though. And any data being held in context is easily accessible and can be wiped or edited to remove personal data as necessary.

    Data protection law covers all kinds of data processing.
    
    For example, input is processing, too. Output is processing, too. Section 4 of the GDPR.
    
    If you really want to rely on excuses, you would need wayyy better ones.

    Right, so keep personal data out of the training set and use it only in the easily readable and editable context. It’ll still “hallucinate” details about people if you ask it for details about people, but those people are fictitious.

  You just wasted a lot of my time. What did I do to deserve this?
