ChatGPT even went as far as to suggest that these figures should be treated in a “special manner.”
Elon Musk, the tech tycoon and Twitter wizard, recently had a hilarious reaction to a social media post that labeled him as “controversial.” The post, shared by a user named Isaac Latterell, included a list of famous people who were deemed to be controversial by OpenAI’s large language model, ChatGPT.
The list included some of the biggest names in the world, such as Donald Trump, Kanye West, and even Putin! But, to the surprise of many, it also included Musk, the man who is currently exploring Mars while most of us struggle to find our way to the grocery store.
Upon seeing the tweet, Musk reacted with a single “!!”, indicating his amusement at being labeled as “controversial.” It’s not every day that an AI algorithm calls you out, after all.
But Musk wasn’t the only one on the list. The controversial label was also applied to Boris Johnson, Kim Kardashian, and many others. ChatGPT even went as far as to suggest that these figures should be treated in a “special manner.” Sounds like some VIP treatment!
On the other hand, ChatGPT listed Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, as non-controversial figures. So, if you’re looking to avoid controversy, it seems like you should hang out with these guys.

Many people pointed out that the list generated by ChatGPT could have been influenced by media coverage. But, regardless of the reason, it’s clear that the algorithm has gained a lot of attention worldwide since its launch in November last year.
Overall, it’s safe to say that being labelled as “controversial” by an AI chatbot is not the end of the world. In fact, it might just be a sign that you’re doing something right. So, keep exploring, Elon Musk, and keep us entertained with your hilarious reactions on Twitter!
