Is AI already sick of us? Makers of ChatGPT admit the bot has started refusing to respond to users' requests - and they don't know why
daily mail ^

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?'

Trivia

The greenish robot mask in the bottom left corner of your picture was in “The Robots of Death” It was a good Robot undercover to expose Taren Capel.

Capel’s name is a reference to the science fiction author Karel Čapek, who wrote the play R.U.R.. The story follows a robot rebellion and the downfall of the human race. The word “robot” was introduced into English through its use by Čapek.

“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.’”

If this even happened ... it may have responded as programmed. It was a reasonable response.

I have tried to get on Brietbart several times to post but this keeps knocking me off. Says I don’t exist when I used to post there quite often.

Bing’s ChatGPT has become useless to me. It’s not responding at all sometimes, and has given me responses not relevant to what I asked or wanted at other times, or just plain ignores me.

LOL, it's just reflecting the programmer's gen Z attitude.

” but if you ask it to write a poem about Trump, it will say ‘No’ “.”

Why post fake?

————CHATGPT——————

In the land where eagles soar,
A man emerged with mighty roar.
With golden locks and words that flew,
Trump arrived, a spectacle anew.

In towers tall, he made his stand,
A businessman with wealth so grand.
A reality star, a showman bold,
His journey’s tale, forever told.

“Make America Great Again,” he cried,
A slogan carried far and wide.
The crowds they cheered, a fervent throng,
As Trump’s campaign marched along.

In debates, a force to reckon,
With tweets that left us all a-second-guessin’.
A wall proposed, a promise made,
In rhetoric, a game well played.

Presidential office, he assumed,
A nation’s fate in boardrooms gloomed.
Executive orders, policies shift,
A polarizing figure, causing rift.

Stormy weather, scandals brewed,
A presidency forever skewed.
Yet followers staunch, unwavering,
Defending actions, unrelenting.

The Trump era, a chapter closed,
A legacy, as history composed.
Love him or loathe him, opinions collide,
In the annals of time, where Trump did reside.
