Read our privacy policy OpenAI has quietly fixed a glitch with ChatGPT that prevented the AI chatbot from saying the name ‘David Mayer’ – but several other names still trigger an error message. “This improvement likely reflects ongoing efforts to refine the balance between accessibility and ethical considerations.” ChatGPT users had speculated that the inability to mention the name ‘David Mayer’ related to a request filed under the General Data Protection Regulation act, which forces technology companies like Google and OpenAI to remove a person’s name and data from their servers. The update that allows ChatGPT to now say the name ‘David Mayer’ – which could relate to the Rothschild heir David Mayer de Rothschild – has not fixed the problem with several other names, including ‘David Faber’, ‘Brian Hoods’, ‘Guido Scorza’, ‘Jonathan Turley’ and ‘Jonathan Zittrain’. open image in gallery ChatGPT produces the error message ‘I’m unable to produce a response’ when attempting to say the name Jonathan Zittrain The name Jonathan Zittrain could belong to a Harvard Law School professor who has written extensively about artificial intelligence, while Jonathan Turley is a George Washington University Law School professor who once wrote a blog post claiming that ChatGPT had defamed him.
