"Don't talk about the assassination attempt"

[UltraBudgie]

I was looking for the last Republican Mayor of Phoenix the other day and couldn't find a direct answer anywhere but Bing. I found that curious, so I fired up a local copy of GPT-3 and asked it and it said it didn't know. I then asked who the mayor was by name, and it returned the guy's info and said he was a Democrat - and he was not! So, its troubling that these datasets are incomplete and in many cases willfully so. It also sure makes you wonder what is going on with Maricopa County elections that you can't find a list of mayors of Phoenix and their party affiliation together anywhere on the Internet.

Here is an interesting article about ChatGPT being unable to even say a certain name:

ChatGPT, the popular chatbot of Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence (AI) startup OpenAI, seems to be facing a bug, preventing it from producing any results related to the name "David Mayer". The issue was first flagged by Reddit users, who found that prompts asking ChatGPT to say "David Mayer" results in the chatbot saying "I'm unable to generate a response".

Users got creative and tried various tactics, including separating the words, putting them in riddles, and even claiming the name to be their own. However, they failed to fetch any response from the chatbot, which ended the chat abruptly before uttering the name.
