From the horse's mouth -

===== Q. is hackernews used as a training set for chat gpt ?

A. ...it is possible that some of the data from HackerNews and other online sources may have been used in the training of my machine learning algorithms.

Q. So it is possible that ChatGPT's training data can be polluted ?

A. Yes, it is possible for ChatGPT's training data to be polluted or biased. This is because ChatGPT learns from large amounts of text data from the internet, which can contain errors, misinformation, or biased perspectives.

Q. I have a concern. If a certain bad actor pollutes the internet with incorrect information about me, and ChatGPT's training set picks it up, what is my recourse ?

A. If incorrect information about you is published on the internet and is picked up by ChatGPT's training set, it could potentially lead to the AI generating inaccurate or biased responses about you. If this happens, your recourse would depend on the specific circumstances and the severity of the issue.

One option would be to contact the developers of ChatGPT or other relevant organizations to report the issue and request that the incorrect information be removed or corrected. However, this may not always be feasible or effective, especially if the information has already been widely disseminated. ======

Yes, there’s nothing you can do.

I've seen the output where ChatGPT misrepresented its own TOS... unless the person who publicly posted it on LinkedIn was lying about asking ChatGPT...

You're asking an AI for facts in a thread that is explicitly about how AI does not generate true facts?
