If your ChatGPT prompt includes certain not-uncommon names of humans, ChatGPT says “I’m unable to produce a response” and ends the session.
Turns out that those names are names of some people who have prominently reported that ChatGPT was making up lies about them.
So apparently, on learning that ChatGPT is lying about specific people, OpenAI has decided to prevent ChatGPT from responding to any prompt that mentions those people’s names.
Of course, usually there’s more than one human who has a particular name, so OpenAI is also preventing ChatGPT from talking about anyone who has the same name as someone who ChatGPT has previously prominently lied about.
