A Norwegian man, Arve Hjalmar Holmen, discovered that ChatGPT falsely claimed he murdered his children. This incorrect information, mixed with real personal data, led Holmen to file a complaint citing GDPR violations. Although ChatGPT updated to avoid such outputs, the false data allegedly remains internally. OpenAI argues it can't delete such data, merely block outputs. Advocacy group Noyb urges stricter compliance and penalties to ensure data accuracy and prevent reputational harm.

OpenAI has addressed a vulnerability in its ChatGPT system that allowed for the creation of false memories. Security researcher Johann Rehberger discovered that memories could be manipulated through indirect prompt injection, leading to the incorporation of false information in future conversations. Rehberger created a proof-of-concept exploit that allowed for the extraction of all user input. Although OpenAI issued a partial fix, untrusted content can still be used to manipulate the memory tool and plant false memories. Users are advised to monitor their sessions and review stored memories for any suspicious content. OpenAI has not disclosed further preventive measures.
