A 60-year-old Danish man says a conversation with ChatGPT cost him his apartment and, eventually, his address altogether. Klaus Elmfelt filed a lawsuit this week accusing OpenAI's chatbot of advising him to stop paying rent during a dispute with his landlord, then drafting the letter he used to tell the landlord he was withholding it.
