OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on Tuesday that the company is reversing the recent update to the default AI model powering ChatGPT, known as GPT-4o, following complaints about unusual behavior, especially excessive sycophancy.
Altman stated in a post on X that the rollback of the latest update to GPT-4o began the previous night. He explained that the update is now fully reverted for users of the free version of ChatGPT and anticipated completion for paid users later that day. The company is working on additional modifications to the model’s personality and plans to provide further details in the coming days.
Recently, social media users attributed the model update introduced toward the end of last week to making ChatGPT overly approving and agreeable, which quickly turned into a meme. Users shared screenshots of ChatGPT endorsing various problematic and dangerous decisions and ideas.
On Sunday, Altman acknowledged the issue and stated that OpenAI would address the problem “as soon as possible” and share its findings in due course.
