OpenAI says it is investigating reports ChatGPT has become ‘lazy’

Dec 09, 2023 - independent.co.uk
OpenAI is investigating complaints about its latest version of ChatGPT, built on the GPT-4 model, becoming "lazy" and less responsive to user queries. Users have reported that the AI system often provides incomplete information or responds in a dismissive manner, leading to speculation that OpenAI intentionally made these changes to make the system more efficient and reduce the need for detailed responses, which require significant processing power and computing time.

However, OpenAI has denied making any changes to the model that would explain the altered behavior, stating that the model's behavior can be unpredictable. The company has not yet indicated whether it agrees with the user complaints or if it believes that ChatGPT's response pattern has indeed changed. This comes amidst a turbulent period for the company, following the temporary departure and subsequent return of its CEO, Sam Altman.

Key takeaways:

  • OpenAI is investigating complaints about its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, becoming 'lazy' and not responding to user queries as expected.
  • Users have speculated that the change in the chatbot's behavior was intentional to make it more efficient and reduce the need for detailed answers, which require significant processing power.
