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:

    If I’m understanding this correctly, whatever chatgpt responds to your queries, you can be held liable for if any damaging content is produced.

      It makes sense, right?

      They produced a language model. It does nothing more than predict the next word. It will lie all the time, that’s part of how it works. It makes stuff up from the input it gets.

      If you post that stuff online and it contains lies about people and you didn’t check it, you absolutely should be liable for that. I don’t see a problem with that.

          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.

      That’s gotta be more to cover their ass then to come after you. Unless you use it’s generated text to sue the company I don’t think they would ever try to sue their users or else everyone would stop using the platform and Microsoft would have a huge PR problem and their stock price would drop. It just doesn’t logically make sense for them to do that, unless they were sued by you for the content produced by your inputs.
