But ChatGPT isn't a private Google document, it's a low temperature content generation model which can emit variations on the same false allegation to a very large number of users if it happens to be relevant to a commonly asked about topic. Clearly this occurring would have the same effect on the reputation of the subject of the false allegation as libel output by a traditional publication. Your suggestion is that culpability for the libel rests with hundreds of individuals that asked innocent questions and received answers, and maybe even shared them whilst reasonably believing them. My suggestion is that OpenAI, the entity behind the model which actually generated the false allegation, might be the more appropriate party to target (with appropriate protections if they respond swiftly to try to prevent the libellous claim from reoccurring)
