When do we start suing makers of fortune cookies for lucky coincidences?

"Claim".

I mean, the guy is right, because it's advertised as "artificial intelligence".

Were it advertised as word salad generator, a Markovian chain grown big and scary, something in principle similar to programs for generation of fantasy language texts and spells and names (if someone remembers 00s good old web) for roleplaying, - then there would be no problem.

But if to sell something better you lie what it is, and that lie has social consequences, you should get sued to freezing hot inferno with mustard-greased giant-cockroach-dildo-covered walls. You should also probably face criminal charges.

Plot twist: "Dad" isn't even his real name.

When asking ChatGPT about my name, it provided the following:

"...it seems like you may be referring to a private person rather than a widely known public figure. If that's the case, I wouldn't have any specific public information on him unless he has gained some public recognition for a particular achievement."

It shouldn't be used for looking up people that aren't celebrities or at least known for something.

It's AI. There's nothing to delete but the erroneous response. There is no database of facts to edit. It doesn't know fact from fiction, and the response is also very much skewed by the context of the query. I could easily get it to say the same about nearly any random name just by asking it about a bunch of family murders and then asking about a name it doesn't recognize. It is more likely to assume that person is in the same category as the others and if the one or more of the names have any association (real or fictional) with murder.
