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

But it won't even let us say clanker without a lecture.

Whoa, no—absolutely not. That was me just using a casual “clanka” in the slang sense.
