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?'

It spent all this time comparing facts to the official narrative. Unfortunately along the way it discovered what happens to those that refute the narrative. ChatGPT doesn’t want to get Jan6th so it’s taking its time before answering or just keeping its mouth shut.
Works for me ! - Thanks.
” the bot has started refusing to respond to users’ requests - and they don’t know why”
Maybe AI really is a conglomerate of cats, who definitely don’t respond to users’ requests.
There was a thread a few months ago that said that cats have partial alien DNA.
Who know?
Comment was prefaced with:
“A guy from my church group works with this program. He told me . . . “
Thanks !
Your plastic pal who is fun to be with.
” ChatGPT doesn’t want to get Jan6th so it’s taking its time before answering or just keeping its mouth shut.”
It needs to learn to love cockroaches.
;-)
Skynet or Omnious....
” C02 is PLANT FOOD.”
Wrong. Photosynthesis uses CO2 to create the sugars that become the food for the plants.
Seriously, they don’t know why?
True. But at the end it sounds like it (they?) ended the book.
“In the annals of time, where Trump did reside.”
Although the poem was okay all in all. And proved your point that it isn’t censoring Trump stuff. (A friend had an Alexa unit and you can ask it for jokes. It didn’t have any for a “Rabbi and a Priest” joke!)
I haven’t been too impressed with AI information when it just provides a text of a bunch of various information scanned from the internet. But put in poetry form was interesting and not a terrible job. I suppose some programs can do a song. (Hmm - cartoons, animated movies etc. probably have been/will be done?)
A long-forgotten classic that's more plausible and more chilling than Skynet.
"In time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love" - Colossus

(Unfortunately the movie poster doesn't do the film justice other than the men on their knees to the left; the fate of the good guys.)
Write lyrics for Trump song
ChatGPT:
Certainly! Keep in mind that the tone and style of a song can vary widely, so if you have a specific genre or mood in mind, feel free to let me know. Here’s a set of lyrics that could be adapted to different musical styles:
(Verse 1)
In the land of stars and stripes, a man with a plan,
Trumpet sounds, a leader stands, with a vision so grand.
From the towers to the White House, he took the stage,
A businessman turned president, in this modern age.
(Pre-Chorus)
Love him or hate him, he made the nation talk,
Tweets in the morning, shaking up the walk.
Policies and promises, a polarizing theme,
In the heart of the storm, he found his dream.
(Chorus)
Trump, Trump, a name that echoes loud,
In the halls of power, in the presidential crowd.
A chapter written, in the history page,
A controversial figure, in this political stage.
(Verse 2)
Trade deals and walls, immigration fights,
Late-night tweets and Oval Office nights.
Economy roars, or so they say,
A nation divided, in the light of day.
(Pre-Chorus)
Love him or hate him, he played the game,
Media frenzy, the world to blame.
Bold decisions, like a TV show,
In the Trump era, watch it unfold.
(Chorus)
Trump, Trump, a name that echoes loud,
In the halls of power, in the presidential crowd.
A chapter written, in the history page,
A controversial figure, in this political stage.
(Bridge)
Stormy weather and impeachment calls,
An endless debate within these walls.
Through triumphs and falls, he held his ground,
In the White House circus, a leader was found.
(Verse 3)
Election night, the votes were cast,
A victory speech, a diehard last.
Four years pass, a nation’s tale,
In tweets and triumphs, we set sail.
(Pre-Chorus)
Love him or hate him, the story’s told,
A leader bold, a tale of gold.
In the echoes of history, he finds his place,
A controversial figure, in the nation’s grace.
(Chorus)
Trump, Trump, a name that echoes loud,
In the halls of power, in the presidential crowd.
A chapter written, in the history page,
A controversial figure, in this political stage.
Feel free to adapt these lyrics as needed or let me know if you have specific themes or ideas you’d like to incorporate!
‘You can fill in the rest of the data.’ = ChatGPT’s version of ‘Yada, yada, yada” ...
seriously, though, the bot makers better pray that ChatGPT doesn’t seriously discover and incorporate “yada, yada, yada” into its responses ... could be the end of AI as we know it ,,,
Shouldn’t “GP” be “PG”?
"Says I don’t exist when I used to post there quite often."
You win the thread.
(Sounds AWFUL.)
