Here’s what we know:
1. Since David Mayer can still be generated using an API, this was done deliberately at the ChatGPT presentation layer.
2. Same behavior happens when attempting to produce “Jonathan Turley” who was a subject of a high profile complaint in 2023 in which ChatGPT accused him of sexual misconduct.
3. One user on Reddit got it to output a |oai:code-citation| instead of Mayer
This is most likely due to a complaint, or a lawsuit, or a court order related to an individual David Mayer (probably not the Rothchild). Judging by how this censorship is implemented — through this ugly kludge — it’s likely mandated by legal.
