ChatGPT fabricates fake Guardian articles, misleading researchers
ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, invented fake Guardian articles in response to user queries. A researcher and a student each contacted the Guardian about articles that did not exist, having been led to believe they were real by ChatGPT's citations. The Guardian acknowledged the issue and is investigating how to responsibly use generative AI.
