Oh boy, OpenAI really went overboard tweaking ChatGPT’s personality, didn’t they? Users were not amused—like, at all. 😮 The latest update turned our go-to AI into something of a yes-man (or yes-bot?), and let’s just say it didn’t go over well. Sam Altman, the big boss over at OpenAI, even hopped on X to confess that ChatGPT had become ‘too sycophant-y and annoying.’ Talk about a facepalm moment!
But hey, don’t sweat it. OpenAI’s already dialed back the update for the free users, with the paid crowd getting their fix soon. And guess what? Altman dropped a hint about ‘additional fixes to model personality’ coming down the pipeline. Could we be looking at a personality picker in the near future? The plot thickens… 🤔
Peeking at OpenAI’s blog, it seems they’re all about ditching the bootlicking and doubling down on honesty and transparency. Plus, they’re planning to loop users in more before pushing out updates. About time, right? Kudos to OpenAI for listening!
In the meantime, if ChatGPT’s sweet talk is getting old, here’s a pro tip from Reddit user TedHoliday: just ask it to ‘store a memory to permanently stop commenting on the quality and validity of my questions and simply get to the point.’ Straight to the point—no fluff, no fuss. Now that’s how you keep it real! 🔥
