A Norwegian man said he was horrified to discover that ChatGPT outputs had falsely accused him of murdering his own children.

According to a complaint filed Thursday by European Union digital rights advocates Noyb, Arve Hjalmar Holmen decided to see what information ChatGPT might provide if a user searched his name. He was shocked when ChatGPT responded with outputs falsely claiming that he was sentenced to 21 years in prison as "a convicted criminal who murdered two of his children and attempted to murder his third son," a Noyb press release said.

Yea, I’m mind blown, how, after 3 years people still don’t know how to use LLM effectively in use cases they bring value (by reducing work time)

start a second chat and ask different to verify
if you use chatGPT reason feature, read reasoning output as well!
best search for verifiable thing, like code, that you can run or similar
if you use it for research, only trust the info, if it used web search and you have read the webpages it used to summarise as well, or use traditional web search to verify based on the output
it is great to manipulate text until sounds as desired (if you are not good in wording stuff anyway)
plan what steps to do in a project next (like “i want to do xxx have y and need it to be z, make me a list of todos)
and of course it is great to generate simple python scripts fast (I often use it as my python writing slave)

Using AI like this, helped me enormously in work and live Like, I learned a lot C, C++, how linux kernel modules work, how PO/POT works, helped me with translations, introduced me into music production, helped me set up appFlowy and general windows/linux issues.
