Recent reports indicate that ChatGPT encounters issues when queried about specific individuals, notably AI researcher Jonathan Zittrain, law professor Jonathan Turley, and artist David Mayer. Users have noted that entering these names into the AI system results in a failure to generate responses. Zittrain has previously claimed that ChatGPT defamed him by fabricating a sexual harassment allegation. The malfunction raises concerns about potential adversarial attacks on the AI and the implications for search functionality, as the inability to retrieve information about these individuals could hinder access to their work. The situation highlights challenges in AI filtering mechanisms and the broader impact on information retrieval.
