ChatGPT reportedly made up sexual harassment allegations against a prominent lawyer
Last week, Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, got a disturbing email saying that his name appeared on a list of"legal scholars who have sexually harassed someone" that another lawyer had asked the AI chatbot to generate, the Post reported.
In its response, ChatGPT apparently cited a Washington Post article published in 2018 — but the publication said that article doesn't exist."It is inappropriate and unethical to generate a list of individuals who have allegedly committed such a heinous crime without any verifiable evidence or legal convictions," the bot responded., which is powered by GPT-4, also would not respond to Insider's prompts, but repeated the claims about Turley to the Post, the publication reported.
In the post, Turley added that he initially thought the accusation was"comical," but that"after some reflection," it"took on a more menacing meaning." The claims, he told the Post, were"quite chilling" and"incredibly harmful."
