Damn, that is actually a really cool approach.

I suppose most LLMs are not smart enough to make the connection and can be probably told to avoid doing it, but I would imagine that it's not impossible for it to figure out that Name1 is likely Wayne Gretzky from context?

Edit: Yep, it's definitely a problem unless the facts are also anonymized I guess: https://chat.openai.com/share/84dbe124-dca7-46e3-be73-79b194...

I redacted the full wikipedia paragraph with the API. Like, the nickname "The Great One" is a pretty major tell!

Exactly. A super famous person like Wayne Gretzky is really hard to protect.

For fun, you can try to tease ChatGPT with information like. "Who is [Name1]?", it won't know, but then add "[Name1] is considered the greatest [Occupation1] in the history of the [Organization1]". Greatest is now a big clue. Add "[Name1] has the most points in history". Points is a big clue, it's some kind of game or sport.. etc. It will eventually figure it out, but I've seen it guess wrong with like Michael Jordan instead.
