The South China Morning Post reports that Chinese police have arrested a man who allegedly used ChatGPT to create a fake news story and spread it online. This may well be the first instance of a person being detained for their use of AI, though it certainly won't be the last.
The man was detained in the northwestern province of Gansu and was identified by the police using only his surname, Hong. In a statement the force said he'd been held for "using artificial intelligence technology to concoct false and untrue information."
