There is actually a musician called Benn Jordan who was impersonated by someone on twitter who posted pro-Israel content [1]. That content is no longer available, but it might have snuck into the training data, i.e. Benn Jordan = pro Israel. This might also have been set in relation to the other Jordan's previous pro-Palestine comments, eventually misattributing the "I was wrong about Israel" video. It's still a clear fuckup - but I could see humans doing something similar when sloppily accruing information.

That article is about the same Benn Jordan in the Bluesky post. The photo in the article is not of Benn Jordan.

Benn Jordan has several videos and projects devoted to "digital sabotage", e.g. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=benn%20jordan%20data%2...

So this all kind of looks on its face like it's just him trolling. There may be ore than just what's on the face of course. For example, it could be someone else trolling him with his own methods.
