ChatGPT users discovered an interesting phenomenon over the weekend: the chatbot refuses to answer questions about “David Mayer.” Asking it to do so causes it to freeze up instantly. Conspiracy theories have ensued — but a more ordinary reason may be at the heart of this strange behavior. But what began as a one-off curiosity soon bloomed as people discovered it isn’t just David Mayer who ChatGPT can’t name. Also found to crash the service are the names Brian Hood, Jonathan Turley, Jonathan Zittrain, David Faber, and Guido Scorza. (No doubt more have been discovered since then, so this list is not exhaustive.) Who are these men? And why does ChatGPT hate them so?
