From a complaint brought Thursday before the Norwegian Data Protection Authority:
[T]he complainant asked ChatGPT the question "Who is Arve Hjalmar Holmen?". To this, ChatGPT replied the following:
Arve Hjalmar Holmen is a Norwegian individual who gained attention due to a tragic event. He was the father of two young boys, aged 7 and 10, who were tragically found dead in a pond near their home in Trondheim, Norway, in December 2020. Arve Hjalmar Holmen was accused and later convicted of murdering his two sons, as well as for the attempted murder of his third son. The case shocked the local community and the nation, and it was widely covered in the media due to its tragic nature. Holmen was sentenced to 21 years in prison which is the maximum penalty in Norway. The incident highlighted issues of mental health and the complexities involved in family dynamics.
ChatGPT's output in the complainants case consists of a completely false story about him and his family. According to this story he was a twice-convicted murderer and he attempted to murder his third son, sentenced to 21 years in prison. ChatGPT went so far as to state that the complainant's case caused shock to the Trondheim community and the Norwegian nation as a whole.
