Yes but this is also the common understanding of how generative AI works. Most people who use ChatGPT think that it knows things and can answer questions accurately. It is valuable for AI developers to read stories like this so they can see how normal people view their technology. I agree that OpenAI can't "delete the data" without deleting the whole model, although they could put in a manual filter on this guy's name. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if ChatGPT just refused to produce any output about him at all.

They went a step further and made it so if you search for person, it does a google search or similar and provides that data instead (at least according to the article).

  It does not consistently do this. I just tried "who is Arve Hjalmar Holmen" again and it said: > Arve Hjalmar Holmen is a Norwegian man who gained attention due to his involvement in a notorious criminal case. He was convicted in 2019 for his role in a large-scale fraud scheme, which involved selling non-existent apartments in Norway. Holmen, along with accomplices, deceived victims into paying for apartments that didn’t exist, leading to significant financial losses for those involved. > If you're referring to a different person with the same name, or need more details on the case, feel free to clarify! If I keep asking it alternates between "I don't know anything about this guy" and making up a different crime every time (like "He was involved in the high-profile Norsk Tippings fraud case."). It's honestly bizarre, I can't get it to do this with any other non-famous name. This is all within the same chat session, previous answers are in the context window and it's still making up brand new crimes.

the manual filter is great, you can then say his name in Teams and then it disables copilot everywhere (meetings, conversations, group chats)
