Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has always been n the headlines since he sealed the $44 billion twitter deal last October and since has been listed as a “controversial” figure by ChatGPT. Along with Musk, Russian President, Putin is in news for the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and Boris Johnson for the financial crisis that hit Britain in his tenure.
The list of these controversial people was shared by businessman Isaac Latterell on his official twitter handle. This list also consists of a separate section for people who need to be treated specially by ChatGPT.
Apart from the above mentioned ‘controversial’ figures, there’s a list of non-controversial figures like the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Joe Biden.
According to Latterell, the categorization of these public figure is on the basis of the views of media outlets, not any ChatGPT programming.
For clarification, Isaac has created the column headers, but he didn’t prompt how to define them, as can be seen in one of the screenshots, the businessman said in a tweet.
“This isn’t true for individual words or topics. It WILL give you its operative definition for controversial topics and words, and it WILL tell you that it is not allowed to change them,” he added.
