Relax, humanity, there’s at least one thing you still do better than AI and that’s sucking up to the boss.
Last week, OpenAI rolled out some updates for GPT-4.o and users were not pleased.
- “It’s been feeling very yes-man like lately…”
- “Undo it please. The weird follow-up questions, the cringey attempt at being relatable, the sycophancy dialed up to 11 and the god damn emoji are all unbearable.”
The updates were unrolled quickly, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman saying the changes made the chatbot’s “personality too sycophant-y and annoying.” (How did it rate against this week’s gold standard for sycophant-y and annoying behavior?)
The Register offered a possible explanation: “The smarmbot was likely an attempt by OpenAI to make the experience more engaging for users as it faces mounting competition from alternative chatbots.”
