That last bit hasn't been very popular.
After days of complaints on social media about the chatbot's "toxic positivity," Altman wrote on April 27 that the "last couple" of updates to GPT-4o have "made the personality too sycophant-y and annoying."
Now, the company is rolling back the updates and making "additional fixes to model personality," Altman said.
Complaints varied but had the same vibe: ChatGPT's responses were too nice to the point of being uncomfortable.
Software engineer Craig Weiss wrote on X that the chatbot "literally will validate everything I say," while Claire Vo, a chief product officer, wrote that it is "way too cheery [and] positive, you really have to bully it to be critical."
Altman says the updates went through on Tuesday, so users should see a difference soon.
