ChatGPT invented a sexual harassment scandal and named a real law prof
as the accused
The AI chatbot can misrepresent key facts with great flourish, even
citing a fake Washington Post article as evidence

One night last week, the law professor Jonathan Turley got a troubling
email. As part of a research study, a fellow lawyer in California had
asked the AI chatbot ChatGPT to generate a list of legal scholars who
had sexually harassed someone. Turley’s name was on the list.

The chatbot, created by OpenAI, said Turley had made sexually suggestive
comments and attempted to touch a student while on a class trip to
Alaska, citing a March 2018 article in The Washington Post as the source
of the information. The problem: No such article existed. There had
never been a class trip to Alaska. And Turley said he’d never been
accused of harassing a student.
A regular commentator in the media, Turley had sometimes asked for
corrections in news stories. But this time, there was no journalist or
editor to call — and no way to correct the record.
