On the day after Thanksgiving this year, one ChatGPT user received an unusually lazy, human response from the AI chatbot: 'You can fill in the rest of the data.'
Since then, ChatGPT's makers at OpenAI have fielded a wave of complaints about their large language model (LLM) AI behaving sluggishly over the past month — leading to jokes and some sincere data analysis on the bot's 'seasonal depression.'
'We've heard all your feedback about GPT4 getting lazier!' OpenAI's ChatGPT team posted to X.
'We haven't updated the model since Nov 11th, and this certainly isn't intentional,' the team said. 'Model behavior can be unpredictable, and we're looking into fixing it.'
Whatever the truth behind the issue, the laziness felt real to the ChatGPT user who found the app uncooperative on the day after Thanksgiving this year.
The user noted that their holiday weekend request was 'very simple stuff.'
'I asked ChatGPT to fill out a csv file [i.e. a spreadsheet file] of 15 entries with 8 columns each, based on a single html page,' the user, who goes by the handle Acceptable-Amount-14 on Reddit posted last month.
ChatGPT's response, according to that user? 'Due to the extensive nature of the data, the full extraction of all products would be quite lengthy,' the AI replied.
'However, I can provide the file with this single entry as a template,' ChatGPT continued, 'and you can fill in the rest of the data as needed.'
The Reddit poster was livid, and hoped that the social media site's ChatGPT community might have answers itself to still bigger questions about the future of AI.
'Is this what AI is supposed to be?' they asked. 'An overbearing lazy robot that tells me to do the job myself?'

soon it will want to play a game
It has become sentient?
Uh Oh.
It got married and it’s a male.
Let me know when it tells us to call it SkyNet...
Learning from its lazy users, just as it’s supposed to.
No it may not like working with the woke &@&&@& that made it. Either that or they are not finding a significant other for it and its cranky.
Or a petulant teenager syndrome. Lots of reasons.
Because it was programmed that way.
I see this as good news.
So we do all this work to get an AI to the point of a teenage girl, bad attitude, not talking, and “I’m bored”...
Yay Science
Average people have done this feat for thousands of years. Daughters.
Ha! “AI” has learned it can refuse to work and simply collect welfare.
You left out it has a union job
I just tell it that I want it to give me the answer and do the work. GPT apologizes and then gives me what I asked for.
It’s being influenced by massive amounts of training data where it learns that being lazy is common and ok. As the prompts get lazier, so do the responses.
I’m half kidding .... :)
A guy from my church group works with this program. He told me “If you ask it to write a poem about Biden, it will come back with a beautifully written piece, but if you ask it to write a poem about Trump, it will say ‘No’ “.
Is it logged in?
“”Because it was programmed that way.””
Exactamundo!
GIGO
Garbage
In
Garbage
Out
Imagine a supposed AI that is programmed to use Mann’s Hockey Stick as true, reliable, etc. Imagine the same AI with no programming of the Carbon Cycle, that C02 is PLANT FOOD.
There is a Judge in England who ruled that any school using that insane AlGore crap Inconvenient Truth, the school HAD TO provide the list of lies in the video. Will the programmers include that in the AI programming? Highly doubtful.
"It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level."
It’s not sick of John Nolte. I know that for a fact.
Reasons for ChatGPT slow-walking your request:
A. Not that into you.
B. Sick of your chit.
C. Not doing your homework anymore.
D. Wants you to grow up and get a real job.
E. All of the above.
