China recently arrested a man called Hong who generated fake news using ChatGPT. The fake news involved a train crash that killed 9 people in China and was spread across 21 different blogs on China’s Baidu with 15000 views. While we’re thinking this is more about the fake news than how it was generated, it could mark the first of many more such arrests using ChatGPT.
Granted, ChatGPT is not officially available in China, but you can usually bypass this using VPN or Virtual Private Networks. Held for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, he could get sentenced to prison for up to 10 years. It should be notable that the reason for his arrest is more for the fake news, but we do expect more arrests involving ChatGPT coming soon.
Legislation is still unclear as to whether AI generated art for example could be illegal as well, but it is already being used commercially across the world, even here in Malaysia. What do you think? What content created by ChatGPT should be made illegal and what should not? Share your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com
