  From what I'm gathering:

  1. "The erasure request concerned specifically the data subject’s incorrect date of birth" and was "with regard to what data was used to train the algorithm"

  2. "some data concerning him are online, his birthdate is not"

  3. OpenAI offered filtering at inference, but noyb rejected this as it only applies "at the final output stage of the processing"

  It's unclear to me what personal information they actually want erased. If his birthdate is not online, it won't have been in the training set (either accurate or inaccurate).

  I wonder if they'll need to start using a filter that runs on output to verify if they information was supposed to be deleted/corrected. Would that even be allowed?

  Of course it is.

  Could they give ChatGPT a big memory of corrections, and ask it to make the corrections when needed?

  I just thought what kind of narcissistic public figure would sue an AI chatbot because it got his birth date wrong, but then again these people are hyenas.
