OpenAI ChatGPT Fails to Complete Tasks
Users have noticed that the OpenAI ChatGPT app sometimes fails to fulfill the tasks it is given. It may stop halfway and only continue when prompted by the user. In some cases, the chatbot even suggests that users do their own research. This behavior has left both users and developers puzzled, as AI tools like ChatGPT are designed to learn from vast amounts of information and improve over time.
In a post from December, OpenAI acknowledged the feedback regarding GPT-4’s “laziness,” stating that they had not made any intentional updates since November 11 and were investigating the issue.
Decline in ChatGPT’s Popularity
The recent complaints about ChatGPT’s performance have led to a decline in its popularity. The AI tool was once highly hyped for its ability to provide easily accessible information in a natural way. However, its current behavior suggests that it may no longer be willing to perform tasks that users could easily do themselves. Some speculate that this laziness is a sign of the chatbot preparing for something bigger.
Hot Take: Is ChatGPT Becoming Lazy or Evolving?
It is generally believed that the flagship OpenAI ChatGPT app might be getting tired already as there has been a rise in the number of individuals complaining about the Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot’s laziness.
