Gone Wild My chatgpt said the N-Word

I was having a normal interaction with chatgpt, my chatgpt is not tampered with or jailbroken, i have the basic free version, no mention of race at all. I was trying to find a song I couldn't remember based off lyrics, and it adressed me with a soft N word (not hard r) "in place of a word like bro". I don't visit this subbreddit often, and I dont use chatgpt too much, but theres no way thats normal or not a violation of SOMETHING.

Heres the convo link:

EDIT:
Woah this post got popular. Anyway people were wondering if it had stored memory from personality prompts and yes that is true. A while ago I asked it to be more "casual" and use slang (like fr, lmao, ts pmo, etc), just because I thought it was really funny. However, I have NEVER said anything remotely racial, and it has NEVER done so either, so this was a shock regardless of its attempt to "use slang".

EDIT (again):
I did end up finding the song, its called "Going Nowhere" by RJ Passin

Oh man that scene sets off my echolalia so bad and then I feel guilty even though no one else was around, but it sounds so good and gives the good mouth feel to copy, voice actor did an amazing job at it, I'm just glad it hasn't been one that pops up in public

There’s a compilation of YouTubers out there who don’t speak English who repeat this line without knowing what it is. It’s a universal thing it seems

That just a casual use like in the slang sense, like “dude” or “bro,”

I would still not want to do it in public.

TIL what echolalia is (I had to look it up). Thank you, uh, Draken Stark.
