GPT-2 Reportedly Reproduced Personal Data from Its Training Data

OpenAI's GPT-2 reportedly memorized and reproduced portions of its training data, including personal information such as names, email addresses, social media handles, and phone numbers. Researchers raised concerns that large language models could expose private or sensitive information when trained on web-scale datasets containing personal data.
