For the first time, OpenAI may face a lawsuit over ChatGPT-generated defamation. An Australian mayor named Brian Hood, who according to Reuters is peeved about the fact that ChatGPT wrongfully identified him as a guilty party in a "foreign bribery scandal involving a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Australia in the early 2000s," apparently claiming that Hood had even served prison time for his so-called crime. Hood was involved in the scandal -- but as the whistleblower, not the crime-doer. Yeah, we'd be pissed, too. Per Reuters, Hood's lawyers sent a "letter of concern" to OpenAI back on March 21 demanding that the company fix its chatbot's error within 28 days.

"The bad news is that getting a solid return on investment in AI often requires a further investment of time and money. These solutions do not deliver as promised right out of the box."
