This is the best summary I could come up with:
ChatGPT has made a slow start to the year โ but Sam Altman says the chatty AI is now past its winter slump.
The OpenAI CEO said that the chatbot should be "much less lazy now," after the startup rolled out a fix for an issue that saw some users complain that ChatGPT was refusing to complete tasks and getting sassy with them.
Some users found inventive strategies to get around ChatGPT's laziness, with one finding that the AI model would provide longer responses if they promised to tip it $200.
OpenAI acknowledged the problem at the time, and rolled out a software update in January that it said fixed issues of "laziness" in its advanced GPT-4 "turbo" model.
Rob Lynch posted on X that he had run a test on GPT-4 turbo which showed that it would give statistically shorter answers when it "thought" it was December rather than May.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
