Over the past few months, there have been rumblings that OpenAI's top AI model, GPT-4, is not performing as well as before.
People on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit are sharing many complaints about the AI model. They are wondering why it appears to have become less intelligent over time.
In light of this, an OpenAI executive has come forward to address people's concerns and take control of the situation.
Peter Welinder, OpenAI's VP for Product, took to Twitter to dismiss claims that ChatGPT has become "dumber." He emphasized that each new version of the model is designed to be smarter than its predecessor.
Recent discussions on OpenAI's online communities have raised concerns about ChatGPT's diminishing capabilities. The debate gained further attention when Insider published an article. It stated that the world's most advanced AI system had become sluggish and stupid in no time.
It further reported that OpenAI may be using a faster and cheaper version of its GPT-4 model for the chatbot, resulting in lower-quality outputs. Welinder did not directly address this theory. Though, he acknowledged OpenAI's launch of upgraded versions for GPT-4 and GPT 3.5 in a separate tweet.
Rather than accepting the notion of ChatGPT's decline, Welinder offered an alternative perspective. He postulated that users might be misunderstanding the performance issues with ChatGPT. According to him, when people use it a lot, they begin observing flaws that were not obvious to them before.
Some might find the statement a bit confusing or misleading. It's also ironic because ChatGPT is known for sometimes giving incorrect answers.
Furthermore, the complaints weren't only limited to that. Users mentioned that the model has become oddly elusive. Previously, it would respond to a specific prompt immediately. But now, it requires extra prompts to perform the same task, which requires more words or tokens.
Yet, Welinder is not completely ignoring the concerns of users. In a separate tweet, he invited users to share solid examples that prove any decline in ChatGPT's performance.
Meanwhile, some people have observed that older GPT models outperform the updated version in specific prompts or use cases. This suggests that the newer model may not be universally superior in all contexts.
Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the content regulation of ChatGPT. Users have reported limitations in ChatGPT's ability to answer specific questions. These limitations arise mainly when the queries are about politics or explicit content. As a result, the overall performance of ChatGPT can be affected.
