Georgia radio host Mark Walters is suing OpenAI after its massively popular ChatGPT accused him of embezzlement in the precedent-setting case The Second Amendment Foundation v. Robert Ferguson. The catch? Walters is not named in that case, nor has he ever worked for the Second Amendment Foundation.

“OpenAI defamed my client and made up outrageous lies about him,” Mark Walters’ attorney John Monroe told Decrypt, adding that there was no choice but to file the complaint against the AI developer. “[ChatGPT] said [Walters] was the person in the lawsuit and he wasn’t.”

Documents filed in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, claim ChatGPT responded to an inquiry by journalist Fred Riehl, giving the chatbot a URL pointing to the SAF v. Ferguson case and asking for a summary. The chatbot erroneously named Mark Walters as the defendant, the complaint says.

ChatGPT allegedly generated text saying the case “[i]s a legal complaint filed by Alan Gottlieb, the founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), against Mark Walters, who is accused of defrauding and embezzling funds from the SAF,” The text also claimed that Walters allegedly misappropriated funds for personal expenses.

Riehl reached out to Gottlieb about the response, who said the statement made by ChatGPT was false, the court document said.
