Recent discussions surrounding OpenAI have raised concerns about potential censorship and compliance issues related to the case of David Meyer. Critics argue that the situation is not about AI censorship but rather about compliance with the right to be forgotten. Questions have been posed regarding the inconsistency in how OpenAI's ChatGPT handles mentions of certain individuals, particularly Jonathan Turley. Users have noted that inquiries about Turley have been restricted since at least last year, prompting calls for clarification from OpenAI's leadership. Additionally, some users speculate on the motivations behind these restrictions, with theories ranging from technical glitches to more sinister reasons. However, as of now, there has been no official explanation from OpenAI regarding these concerns.
Just noting we still have no official explanation for this weird censorship from OpenAI, and probably will never get one. Is it a stupid bug? Is it nefarious? Who knows! https://t.co/DTkUbCExk4
I don’t think OpenAI is censoring David Mayer because of some Rothschild conspiracy. SolidGoldMagikarp might be the answer 🤷♂️ https://t.co/eqeViJTIXz
