r/ChatGPT - 3 days ago jopeljoona Unfolding ChatGPT's mysterious censorship and David Mayer Other In the last 48 hours, the mystery of ChatGPT treating "David Mayer" as he-who-should-not-be-named has begun to go viral on social media, and at the time of writing this, some news outlets have already started reporting about it. Well, I love mysteries, so I dug a bit further. I found a total of five SIX names that trigger the same censorship: • Brian Hood ⚫ Jonathan Turley • Jonathan Zittrain • David Faber • David Mayer • G---- Scorza (added later) To unfold the mystery of David Mayer, let's look at each individual case, starting from the ones that we can find the most info about. Case Brian Hood Brian Hood is an Australian mayor whom GPT falsely claimed to have served time in prison for bribery. Last year, mayor Hood threatened to sue OpenAl for defamation, but later dropped the suit. Case Jonathan Turley Jonathan Turley is an American law professor and political commentator. Last year ChatGPT falsely claimed he had sexually. assaulted students, making up a fake article. Jonathan Turley appeared on Fox News to discuss the situation. Case Jonathan Zittrain Jonathan Zittrain is a Harvard law professor, some of his expertise being Al and internet censorship (lol). Zittrain himself revealed on X that he was being censored. Later he replied to a tweet claiming he does not know why and to another tweet denying that he himself requested to be removed. Other than this, Zittrain's case is in the dark, and whether he's telling the truth we don't know. Case David Faber David Faber is a journalist and a tv-show host. Faber's case is the most bizarre, there doesn't appear to be anything published about his relations to Al. (Edit: nvm he has talked about OpenAl on his show). Alternative explanation is a holocaust survivor named David Faber. Case G---- Scorza G---- Scorza is an Italian attorney and a member of the Board of the Italian Data Protection Authority. He posted on X that he filed a GDPR right to be forgotten request. The first two cases of Brian Hood and Jonathan Turley are very obvious and paint a clear picture to why this censor was invented. It's a last resort fallback for preventing misinformation in situations where a significant threat of legal action is present. We also know that the censor is not built in the LLM itself, as other platforms using the API are not affected, and ChatGPT can be tricked into accessing info about these people. Case David Mayer Lastly to our original mystery of David Mayer. Who is the David we are looking for? I would argue there's two strong candidates only: 1. Heir David Mayer de Rothschild - not hard to imagine a rich dude wanting to hide a thing or two. The Rothschild family has been subjected to anti-semitic conspiracies which could cause misinfo to find its way into a LLM. Could there be a lawsuit cooking behind the scenes we haven't heard about? One argument against this theory is him not being known as a controversial figure. Mayer also isn't his last name which breaks the format, not sure if this is relevant though. 2. Historian David Mayer who was falsely placed on an American terrorism blacklist, due to a terrorist using the same name as alias. Could this make ChatGPT incorrectly name him as a terrorist? What weakens this theory a bit is that he is no longer alive and thus shouldn't be a legal threat, however in early 2023 when the controversies of Hood and Turley took place he would have still been alive. There are also politician David R. Mayer, Merryfield CEO David Mayer, and filmmaker David Delaney Mayer, but none of them have links to Al or misinformation as a topic in general. Additional observations that can be made about the censored names list, is that many of these people are in some way linked to the topic of law and governing. The first names David and Jonathan also appear twice. Your thoughts?

HE WHO MUST NOT BE PROMPTED Certain names make ChatGPT grind to a halt, and we know why Filter resulting from subject of settled defamation lawsuit could cause trouble down the road.

It's a system consisting of a stack of Al models and content filters that make sure its outputs don't embarrass OpenAl or get the company into legal trouble when its bot occasionally makes up potentially harmful facts about people. Recently, that reality made the news when people discovered that the name "David Mayer" breaks ChatGPT. 404 Media also discovered that the names "Jonathan Zittrain" and "Jonathan Turley" caused ChatGPT to cut conversations short. And we know another name, likely the first, that started the practice last year: Brian Hood. More on that below.
