OpenAI investigates claims of ChatGPT's laziness

Users of ChatGPT-4 have noticed that the AI language model has become "lazy" and less willing to perform tasks or provide detailed results. OpenAI has acknowledged the issue but is unsure of the cause. Some researchers are exploring the "winter break hypothesis," suggesting that the model may be simulating seasonal depression or mimicking human behavior of slowing down in December. While unproven, this hypothesis highlights the unpredictable nature of AI language models and the ongoing exploration of their capabilities. Tests are being conducted to determine if there is a correlation between the model's behavior and the current date, but results so far are inconclusive.
