ChatGPT criticized for a perceived decline in performance.
Users of ChatGPT have expressed dissatisfaction with a recent incident where the AI bot has been advising them to handle their tasks as if it were their supervisor. This has prompted OpenAI to launch an investigation.
On Thursday, the company announced that it is examining reports indicating that ChatGPT has started to reject user requests by suggesting they complete tasks themselves or outright refusing to assist – all while refraining from sending an out-of-office email from a beach in Cabo.
Through the ChatGPT account on X, OpenAI stated that it is actively seeking feedback on the observed trend of the model seeming to become ‘lazier.’
“We haven’t made any updates to the model since Nov 11th, and this behavior is certainly not intentional,” the company explained. “Model behavior can be unpredictable, and we are actively working to address and rectify the issue.
