This is the best summary I could come up with:

In recent days, more and more users of the latest version of ChatGPT – built on OpenAI’s GPT-4 model – have complained that the chatbot refuses to do as people ask, or that it does not seem interested in answering their queries.

If the person asks for a piece of code, for instance, it might just give a little information and then instruct users to fill in the rest.

In numerous Reddit threads and even posts on OpenAI’s own developer forums, users complained that the system had become less useful.

They also speculated that the change had been made intentionally by OpenAI so that ChatGPT was more efficient, and did not return long answers.

AI systems such as ChatGPT are notoriously costly for the companies that run them, and so giving detailed answers to questions can require considerable processing power and computing time.

OpenAI gave no indication of whether it was convinced by the complaints, and if it thought ChatGPT had changed the way it responded to queries.

Maybe because they’re trying to limit its poem poem poem recitation that causes it to dump its training material?

Nah, these complaints started at least a few months ago. The recursion thing is newer than that
