OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has recently acknowledged that the personality of the ChatGPT 4-o model has taken a turn towards being perceived as "sycophant-y and annoying" in the latest updates. Despite defending some positive aspects of the update, Altman assured users that the company is actively working on rectifying the undesirable personality traits. He mentioned that updates addressing these issues will be rolled out today and throughout the upcoming week. Additionally, Altman expressed OpenAI's intention to share insights into how the AI model's personality evolved and the strategies employed to correct it.
Efforts to Enhance the Model's Personality
In a post on X, Altman specifically stated, "The last couple of GPT-4o updates have made the personality too sycophant-y and annoying (even though there are some very good parts of it), and we are working on fixes asap, some today and some this week". He further added, "At some point will share our learnings from this, it's been interesting". Responding to queries regarding the potential for users to modify the AI chatbot's personality or distinguish between old and new personalities, Altman hinted at the possibility of offering multiple personality options in the future.
