For those using ChatGPT, if anything you post is used in a lawsuit against OpenAI, OpenAI can send you the bill for the court case (attorney fees and such) whether OpenAI wins or loses.

Examples:

A defamation case by an Australian mayor because ChatGPT incorrectly stated that he had served prison time for bribery: https://www.reuters.com/technology/australian-mayor-readies-worlds-first-defamation-lawsuit-over-chatgpt-content-2023-04-05/
OpenAI sued for defamation after ChatGPT fabricates legal accusations against radio host: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/9/23755057/openai-chatgpt-false-information-defamation-lawsuit

This isn't true in the least. Purchase a tool and look through the manual. Every section marked "danger", "warning", or "caution" was put in there because someone sued some company because the user or some bystander was hurt or injured.

You are right. Seems I confused common sense with reality.
