OpenAI reveals why ChatGPT won't say "David Mayer" (neowin.net)
If you were online last weekend, you might’ve seen strange news about a guy named David Mayer. He wasn’t trending because of a major event or some viral moment but because of a weird glitch in ChatGPT. Users couldn’t get the chatbot to spit out his name, no matter how hard they tried. Instead, it either froze mid-sentence, claimed “something went wrong,” or flat-out refused to respond.
