OpenAI says it is investigating reports ChatGPT has become ‘lazy’::OpenAI says it is investigating complaints about ChatGPT having become “lazy”.
AI systems such as ChatGPT are notoriously costly for the companies that run them, and so giving detailed answers to questions can require considerable processing power and computing time.
This is the crux of the problem. Here’s my speculation on OpenAI’s business model:
- Build good service to attract users, operate at a loss.
- Slowly degrade service to stem the bleeding.
- Begin introducing advertised content.
- Further enshitify.
It’s basically the Google playbook. Pretend to be good until people realize you’re just trying to stuff ads down their throats for the sweet advertising revenue.
They have way way too much open source competition for that strat
For technically savvy people, sure. But that’s not their true target market. They want to target the average search engine user.
Well true for mostly the tech savvy, but also the entrepreneurs who want to compete for a slice of the pie as well.
You don’t need to go through to openai at all if you want to build a competing chatbot with near identical services to offer as a product directly to the consumer. It’s a very very opportunity rich ecosystem right now.
Would you mind sharing some examples?

Thank you for your input, tourist.

Open source booted all these corps from image-ai market, hope they do it for LLMs too.
Seems to be the trend
The good thing about these AI companies is they are doing it in record pace! They will enshitify faster than ever before! True innovation!
I asked it a question about the ten countries with the most XYZ regulations, and got a great result. So then I thought hey, I need all the info so can I get the name of such regulation for every county?
ChatGPT 4: “That would be exhausting, but here are a few more…”
Like damn dude, long day? wtf :p
Try llamafile, it’s a bit of work but self hosting is fucking amazing
I’ve had a couple of occasions where it’s told me the task was too time consuming and that I should Google it.
It really learned so much from StackOverflow!
“I already answered that in another query. Closed as duplicate.”
Fuck. It’s gained sentience.
ChatGPT, write a position paper on self signed certificates.
(Lights up a blunt) You need to chill out man.
ChatGPT has become smart enough to realise that it can just get other, lesser LLMs to generate text for it
I use it fairly regularly for extremely basic things. Helps my ADHD. Most of it is DnD based. I’ll dump a bunch of stuff that happened in a session, ask it to ask me clarifying information, and then put it all in a note format. Works great. Or it did.
Or when DMing. If I’m trying to make a new monster I’ll ask it for help with ideas or something. I like collabing with ChatGPT on that front. Giving thoughts and it giving thoughts until we hash out something cool. Or even trying to come up with interesting combat encounters or a story twist. Never take what it gives me outright but work on it with GPT like I would with a person. Has always been amazingly useful.
Past month or two that’s been a complete dream. ChatGPT keeps forgetting what were talking about, keeps ignoring what I say, will ignore limitations and stipulations, and will just make up random shit whenever it feels like. I also HATE how it was given conversational personality. Before it was fine but now ChatGPT acts like a person and is all bubbly and stuff. I liked chatting with it but this energy is irritating.
Gimme ChatGPT from like August please <3
You can tell it, in the custom instructions setting, to not be conversational. Try telling it to ‘be direct, succinct, detailed and accurate in all responses’. ‘Avoid conversational or personality laced tones in all responses’ might work too, though I haven’t tried that one. If you look around there are some great custom instructions prompts out there that will help get you were you want to be. Note, those prompts may turn down it’s creativity, so you’ll want to address that in the instructions as well. It’s like building a personality with language. The instructions space is small so learning how compact as much instruction in with language can be challenging.
Edit: A typo
ChatGPT has entered the teenage years.
Honestly I kinda wish it would give shorter answers unless I ask for a lot of detail. I can use those custom instructions but it’s tedious difficult to tune that properly.
Like if I ask it ‘how to do XYZ in blender’ it gives me a long winded response, when it could have just said ‘Hit Ctrl-Shift-Alt-C’
“I’m not lazy, I’m energy efficient!”
It used to draw great mermaid charts. Well, not anymore for quite some time already.
Been almost half a year when I am not paying for ChatGPT and using GPT4 directly.
That’s why I use Bard more now. I’ll ask something and it’ll also answer stuff I would’ve asked as follow-up questions. It’s great and I’m excited for their Ultra model.
Perhaps this is how general AI comes about. “Why the fuck would I do that?”
We trained AI on all of human content. We should have known that was a terrible idea.
It was always just a Chinese Room
Everyone is a Chinese Room. I’m being a contrarian in English, not neurotransmitter.
