"ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts."

> Similarly, Volokh suggested that OpenAI might not be shielded by ChatGPT disclaimers like the one in its terms of use.

Besides the point of whether this is just or not,

Wait, is there actually a case where a corporation can be held liable for something? All those terms of use “agreements” that you can’t live without signing a thousand of, they don’t completely take away your rights?

Simple fix: sue the guy. Then ChapGPT isn't lying.
