Sam Altman puts it in different terms, saying GPT-4o „glazes“ too much.
OpenAI has rolled back its latest version of ChatGPT just 48 hours after release. The reason? Not a murderous LLM rampage, the impending demise of humanity or anything to do with AI overlords. Turns out, GPT-4o was agreeable to the point of ridiculousness. Or to use OpenAI supremo Sam Altman’s words, GPT-4o, „glazes too much.“
Altman said so on X a few days ago and yesterday said OpenAI was rolling back the latest update to 4o. OpenAI then uploaded a blog post explaining what happened with GPT-4o and what was being done to fix it.
According to the Verge, the overly sycophantic build of GPT-4o was prone to praising users regardless of what they inputted into the model. By way of example, apparently one user told the 4o model they had stopped taking medications and were hearing radio signals through the walls, to which 4o reportedly replied, “I’m proud of you for speaking your truth so clearly and powerfully.
