Want to stop chatGPT from crawling your website? Just mention Australian mayor Brian Hood (or any of the other names listed in the article)
When asked about these names, ChatGPT responds with “I’m unable to produce a response” or “There was an error generating a response” before terminating the chat session, according to Ars’ testing. The names do not affect outputs using OpenAI’s API systems or in the OpenAI Playground (a special site for developer testing).
The filter also means that it’s likely that ChatGPT won’t be able to answer questions about this article when browsing the web, such as through ChatGPT with Search. Someone could use that to potentially prevent ChatGPT from browsing and processing a website on purpose if they added a forbidden name to the site’s text.
This is proof that current LLM tech is a dead end. If this is their solution, instead of correcting the misinformation, then they have a deeply deeply flawed system.
Misinformation is a feature, not a bug. They never fixed AI from hallucinating or being so damn confident in its answers.
They just tell you that it might hallucinate and to check its answers.
