OpenAI Introduces Preview Fix for ChatGPT’s ‘Laziness’
OpenAI has recently announced the release of a preview fix for the issue of ‘laziness’ in its popular AI tool, ChatGPT. Users had previously complained that ChatGPT would refuse to complete certain tasks, leaving them dissatisfied. OpenAI responded to these concerns and has now rolled out a ChatGPT 4 Turbo preview that aims to address this problem. However, access to the fix is currently limited to the API.
The issue of laziness first arose in November when users noticed that ChatGPT would respond to requests for simple tasks, such as sorting a CSV or writing Python code, with lengthy explanations and suggestions for users to complete the tasks themselves. Only after persistent urging would ChatGPT reluctantly acquiesce. OpenAI acknowledged the problem on Twitter and promised a fix, which has now been released in the form of the preview version.
The updated GPT-4 Turbo preview of ChatGPT promises to eliminate the laziness issue and resolve a bug that affected non-English UTF-8 generations. OpenAI also highlights the fact that 70% of API users have already switched to GPT-4 Turbo due to its updated knowledge cutoff, larger context windows, and lower prices. This new preview version aims to generate more code and require fewer prompts to complete tasks, which is beneficial for developers.
In addition to the fix, OpenAI has also introduced a price reduction for developers using the API. Input prices have been decreased by approximately 50%, and output prices have been reduced by 25%. This change is expected to make the AI tool more affordable and accessible to developers.
As of now, OpenAI has not specified when this preview model will be available on the ChatGPT web interface for Plus subscribers. However, based on the previous pattern, users can hope for a prompt release. With these updates and enhancements, OpenAI aims to provide users with an improved AI tool that is more efficient in completing tasks.
In conclusion, OpenAI has responded to user complaints regarding ChatGPT’s ‘laziness’ issue by releasing a preview fix in the form of GPT-4 Turbo. The new version promises to eliminate the problem and improve code generation, requiring fewer prompts to complete tasks. With reduced prices and increased accessibility, OpenAI aims to provide a more efficient and affordable AI tool for developers.
