ChatGPT’s Killer Lies: AI Scandal Rocks 2025

In a jaw-dropping tech scandal that’s got everyone buzzing, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has landed in hot water in March 2025 after spinning a wild tale about a Norwegian man, Arve Hjalmar Holmen. The AI falsely branded him a child murderer, claiming he slaughtered two of his kids and tried to off a third, earning a fake 21-year prison stint. This juicy whopper, dubbed an AI “hallucination,” prompted a fiery privacy complaint from Noyb, a European rights group, slamming ChatGPT for breaching the EU’s GDPR rules. They’re crying foul over the bot’s inability to correct its fibs, leaving Holmen’s reputation in tatters.

Reported by TechCrunch, this isn’t ChatGPT’s first rodeo—past slip-ups include wrong birth dates and bribery scandals. With Norway’s data watchdogs now sniffing around, OpenAI could face a wallet-busting fine of 4% of its global turnover. The kicker? Even with updates to curb its wild imagination, ChatGPT might still be hoarding fake info internally, ready to strike again. This spicy saga has tech heads and privacy buffs alike asking: can we trust AI not to ruin lives with its digital daydreams? Stay tuned—this one’s far from over!
