    No idea if ChatGPT or some other generative AI is involved.

        Those who must not be named:

        https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/12/certain-names-make-chatgpt-grind-to-a-halt-and-we-know-why/

        The chat-breaking behavior occurs consistently when users mention these names in any context, and it results from a hard-coded filter that puts the brakes on the AI model's output before returning it to the user.
        ...
        Here's a list of ChatGPT-breaking names found so far through a communal effort taking place on social media and Reddit. ...

            Ah well, privacy is not a matter of concern to chatgpt 😁

              Interesting. From the article:

              As for Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University Law School professor and Fox News contributor, 404 Media notes that he wrote about ChatGPT's earlier mishandling of his name in April 2023. The model had fabricated false claims about him, including a non-existent sexual harassment scandal that cited a Washington Post article that never existed. Turley told 404 Media he has not filed lawsuits against OpenAI and said the company never contacted him about the issue.

              I tried to back them into the name. You can see it started to generate a response but then stopped.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                  Best I can do, when a scammer calls, is to keep the line open but hit the mute button. :man-shrugging:

                      Finally got around to watching that (short) video. Not sure I'm clearer or more confused about it all, ha. The processing behind it is impossible to comprehend, which makes it both exciting and dangerous to an extent. Nonetheless, I wonder if AI will in the future be so good that it could do seemingly impossible things such as translating animal sounds (what's that dog saying?) or more pragmatically, what EXACTLY will the weather be in 2 weeks.

                        Or imagine implementations that integrate facial recognition technology and use drones and fixed cameras to keep tabs of an entire population for every moment of their lives.

                          And then connect that data to your quantum computer to predict what they do next.
                          And then arrest murderers before they murder.

                            ChatGPT Plus for all ... in the UAE:

                            https://www.thearabianstories.com/2025/05/25/free-ai-for-all-uae-becomes-first-to-offer-chatgpt-plus-to-every-resident-and-citizen/

                            "ChatGPT Plus" is something that costs $20/month if we want it. The UAE has struck a deal with OpenAI to make ChatGPT Plus available to all the citizens and residents of the UAE at no cost to them.

                                I don't know.

                                But the ChatGPT you get in UAE may or may not be the same as the ChatGPT you get here.

                                Not that hard to imagine different localizations, be it naturally occurring because the underlying algorithms take the user's geographic location into account, or due to censorship placed by the governments in different jurisdictions.

                                  It'll be really interesting to see the long term effects on human cognition, when everybody has every answer at their fingertips. Living without an AI will feel like driving without GPS.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                    Agreed. Do kids even know how to use paper maps these days?

                                      Online maps don't look all the different from paper maps. Not like online search results looking very different from library index cards or digital clock looking very different from analog clocks.

                                      I figure future generations will miss paper maps and associated skills like we miss sundials and the library card catalogs and their associated skills.
