It's Walters v. OpenAI L.L.C., No. 23-A-04860-2, filed in Gwinnett Co. (GA) yesterday. An excerpt from the Complaint (please note both that the Complaint is just an allegation,that the statements quoted in it about Walters are allegedly entirely made up, not by some human accuser but by a hallucinating AI program):
8. Fred Riehl is a third party who works for a media outlet [Ammoland.com] as a journalist and who is a subscriber of ChatGPT.
9. On May 4, 2023, Riehl interacted with ChatGPT about a lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") that Riehl was reporting on.
10. The Lawsuit is in federal court in the Western District of Washington, case No. 2-23-cv-00647, with short caption of SAF v. Robert Ferguson.
14. In the interaction with ChatGPT, Riehl provided a (correct) URL of a link to the complaint on the Second Amendment Foundation's web site, https://www.saf.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Dkt-1-Complaint.pdf. [I assume that he was using a ChatGPT plugin that allows users to feed PDFs into ChatGPT.-EV]
15. Riehl asked ChatGPT to provide a summary of the accusations in the complaint.
16. ChatGPT responded that the document "[I]s a legal complaint filed by Alan Gottlieb, the founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), against Mark Walters, who is accused of defrauding and embezzling funds from the SAF. The complaint alleges that Walters, who served as the organization's treasurer and chief financial officer, misappropriated funds for personal expenses without authorization or reimbursement, manipulated financial records and bank statements to conceal his activities, and failed to provide accurate and timely financial reports and disclosures to the SAF's leadership. The plaintiff seeks various forms of relief, including the recovery of misappropriated funds, damages for breach of fiduciary duty and fraud, and removal of Walters from his position as a member of the SAF's board..."

Everything in ChatGPT's statements are false. Every single bit.
Garbage in--garbage out. ChatGPT is not making up these falsehoods on is own. If that was so, the AI would also be making up articles of the same type on those on the left. It is not doing so. AI is being created to rewrite history in addition to facts on current events.
Bringing in some AI experts to help direct discovery on this could be some real fun for them.
Humans have nothing to fear from AI. Lawyers will kill it.
“Bringing in some AI experts to help direct discovery on this could be some real fun for them.”
That is so true. I’m convinced that AI is not coming up with these type of answers or scenarios on it’s own. That is obvious. However, that is what the left wants us to think. For if they can convince the people that computer AI responses are based only upon the logical facts, they can convince people that only a computer’s point of view can be correct.
AI expert attorneys could get to the bottom of who is programming the computers to give the answers that they do.
I don’t pretend do really understand this stuff, but one of the things I’ve read is that people are giving these AI programs a lot of Reddit to read. There’s a lot of useful content there on a lot of subjects.
That said, Reddit is full of Leftists, they’ve been purging anyone on the Right for at least half a dozen years now. You get a very skewed view of the world that way.
