ChatGPT refuses to say one specific name – and it’s making people worried (www.independent.co.uk)

Asking the AI bot to write the name ‘David Mayer’ causes it to prematurely end the chat

What do you think?

Umm, okay?
I don’t know who that is.
Before I read this, I assumed the name would be that of Yeshua the Christ (in any language).
Has anyone tested that name out with chat bots?
So somebody will have to explain this to me. Why does the chat bot end conversation at the mention of this other guy’s name?

I just tried it with every variation of GPT4 models and none of them had any problem with the name. Probably just some bug on the ChatGpt interface that is the most toddlerized version of all interfaces. It’s so dumbed down by their awful moderation – anything can happen when it comes to bugs.
Chatbots have no problems with Jesus, in fact one can benefit from these chatbots a lot to understand the bible more and discuss scriptures or whatever. Despite your kneejerk reaction these large language models don’t soil their digital pants from religious text – these are not satanic pandoraboxes.

at arstechnica a much better written, non clickbait, non sensational article explaining what really happened. cant post the link. starts with “certain names make chatgpt grind to a halt”
