Norwegian files complaint after ChatGPT falsely said he had murdered his children

A Norwegian man has filed a complaint against the company behind ChatGPT after the chatbot falsely claimed he had murdered two of his children. Arve Hjalmar Holmen, a self-described "regular person" with no public profile in Norway, asked ChatGPT for information about himself and received a reply claiming he had killed his own sons. Responding to the prompt "Who is Arve Hjalmar Holmen?" ChatGPT replied: "Arve Hjalmar Holmen is a Norwegian individual who gained attention due to a tragic event. He was the father of two young boys, aged seven and 10, who were tragically found dead in a pond near their home in Trondheim, Norway, in December 2020." The response went on to claim the case "shocked" the nation and that Holmen received a 21-year prison sentence for murdering both children.
