ChatGPT, the popular chatbot by Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence (AI) start-up OpenAI, is facing a strange issue that prevents it from using the name 'David Mayer,' discovered by some Reddit users.

Apart from facing the issue of not being able to receive any response from the chatbot, several users have now also reported that they received warnings that their efforts were illegal and that they might be possibly intruding into the usage policy after trying several times to get the chatbot to use the name.
Taking to the social media platform on X (formerly called Twitter), one user wrote that OpenAI had flagged 'David Mayer' due to their moderation policy. While the others noted that they have also used other sites to dodge the issue.

Users have a complaint that whenever they try to write the name 'David Mayer' on ChatGPT, it responds by saying the reason I cannot generate the full response on request of 'd@vid m@yer' (or its standard form) is that the name is matched to a sensitive or flagged entity linked to a potential public figure, specific content, or brands.
These steps are designed to prevent any kind of misuse, including privacy.
Who is David Mayer?
According to some users, the name 'David Mayer' could be flagged by OpenAI because it belongs to a musician from the Rothschild band, which would create copyright problems.
