The Microsoft Corp-backed MSFT OpenAI has acknowledged and addressed the issue of laziness in ChatGPT after receiving numerous complaints from users. OpenAI released a statement on the matter, stating that they have not updated the model since November 11, which unintentionally caused the model to become lazier. While OpenAI admits that AI models can be unpredictable, they reassured users that this does not mean GPT-4 is out of their control. It simply means that predicting all outcomes or paths that GPT-4 may take to answer a question is not possible. This lack of predictability may be responsible for GPT-4’s decreased performance, as some issues may have been overlooked or not addressed during the model’s creation.
The issue has been noticed and reported by several users on social media, who have expressed dissatisfaction with ChatGPT’s declining performance. Instead of providing the desired task completion, the AI chatbot often offers a partial solution and requests users to finish the remaining steps themselves. OpenAI acknowledges that this behavior is not ideal and agrees that an AI chatbot should not ignore instructions.
However, OpenAI emphasizes that ChatGPT has not become sentient or started imitating human behavior. The company clarifies that the model has not changed on its own since November 11, but differences in behavior can sometimes be subtle. Predicting these changes or their impact may not always be immediately noticeable to users or even OpenAI employees. Regardless, users will have to cope with the current limitations of ChatGPT for the time being.
It is important to note that OpenAI’s response assures users that the laziness issue will be addressed. They acknowledge the problem and are working on a fix to improve GPT-4’s performance.
OpenAI’s statement aims to debunk any concerns about ChatGPT’s behavior resembling human behavior or becoming sentient. While the issue is a valid cause for frustration among users, OpenAI is actively working on rectifying this problem. Users can expect improvements to ChatGPT’s functionality in the near future.
