A few ChatGPT users have noticed a strange phenomenon recently: occasionally, the chatbot refers to them by name as it reasons through problems.

    It’s not a phenomenon, ffs. They’re giving the bot their names, and it’s programmed to insert the user’s provided name into the conversation.

      Yeah, and its not unprompted, the names are put into the prompt before the users input.
