I think many more lawsuits will come to OpenAI, probably Microsoft and GitHub too.

ChatGPT is literally an autocomplete engine, like a mobile keyboard or so (just with a larger dataset than phones have), why would anyone think anything it has to say is true without verification, or sue it, that would be like suing apple or google because of the autocomplete suggestion words their phone keyboards give, that’s very weird and heavily implies that the people suing are… less than mentally competent… >.>

A regional Australian mayor has threatened to sue OpenAI, the creator company behind the highly popular ChatGPT—if it fails to rectify false claims made by the generative AI about him serving time in prison for bribery. This potential lawsuit if it proceeds would mark the first defamation case against OpenAI.
