🌐 ChatGPT encounters strange bug, can't say ‘David Mayer’

OpenAI's popular chatbot ChatGPT is facing a strange bug which prevents it from using the name “David Mayer”, users on Reddit have discovered.

Insights for you:

• ChatGPT is experiencing an unusual bug where it cannot say or write the name "David Mayer" - when users attempt to make it do so, the chat ends abruptly. This has been verified by multiple users and the Times of India's testing.

• The issue appears to be at the moderation policy level rather than the language model level - OpenAI's verification layer seems to have flagged this name specifically, as evidenced by the fact that the name can still be used through ChatGPT's API.

• When questioned indirectly, ChatGPT indicated this is due to the name matching a "sensitive or flagged entity" related to potential public figures, brands, or content policies, though the exact reason for the flag remains unclear, with users speculating about possible connections to the Rothschild family or music copyright issues.
