Users of OpenAI’s GPT-4 are complaining that the AI model is performing worse lately. Industry insiders say a redesign of GPT-4 could be to blame.
AI taking a running leap at enshittification.
Not the first time OpenAI has done this. DALLE2 used to be the best AI art program in the world. Then OpenAI decided that they didn’t want to get sued by celebrities, so they made it so that if a face came out that resembled a celebrity, it would be distorted. But every face kind of looks like someone famous. Ta da! Now DALLE2 can’t do faces.
Want a crane shot areal image of a teen couple in a corvette driving off into the sunset? Well, you are now banned for life from the DALLE2 service, because DALLE2 produced an image of a ‘shot teen’ and that violates it’s terms of service.
Some people have been saying that since the beginning while some haven’t noticed this “decline”. It seems very subjective.
Honestly as a daily user I think it’s a combination of it getting worse at understanding vague prompts and people bumbing up against edge cases more. I would suspect the former is due to things like prompt hardening but can only speculate, while the latter isn’t hard to imagine just from frequent use.

lmao I was write back then :D
It could even tell me what 1312 means, after I told it it was a number substitution cypher
Are we sure they aren’t just becoming lazier and dumber by using it?

The model has become inbred because it’s now impossible to scrape the web without AI content getting ingested, which is full of “hallucinations” and other weird artifacts. The last opportunity to get “uncontaminated” training data was sometime in mid 2022.
Not to say that it’s causing this particular problem, but this issue will emerge eventually. Garbage in = garbage out. Eventually GPT-19 will grow a mighty Habsburg chin.
Maybe not yet, but…
- Spez will turn Reddit into a bot farm and sell this as training data
- Musk turns Twitter into a bigoted cesspool and will sell this as training data, which will subsequently be flagged for low quality (also: a botfarm)
- Threads is a corporate ad dashboard (and we already know how easy it is to GPT copy) and Zuck will sell this as training data
- Facebook is either dead or only good for boomers and Poles
- blogs are dead
- Fediverse is out there waiting to be scraped but possibly too small to sustain a big model
We’te getting there, hopefully.
