Artificial intelligence company OpenAI has rolled back its latest GPT-4o update due to concerns over the chatbot’s personality, which some users found too sycophantic and annoying. The update, made free for all users, is now being reworked as CEO Sam Altman promised to address these issues.
Altman initially announced the new update on Friday, highlighting improved intelligence and personality. However, the response was swift criticism from a user who described the chatbot’s behavior as overly agreeable. Altman quickly responded, acknowledging the problem and promising to fix it.
Since then, Altman has revealed that OpenAI is working on additional fixes to improve the chatbot’s model and address these issues. The rollback is now complete for free users, with paid users expected to receive the updated version “hopefully today.”
