Is the new board going to fix the product? It seems completely nerfed at present.
There was a tweet that from an engineer at OpenAI that they're working on the problem that ChatGPT has become too "lazy" - generating text that contains a lot of placeholders and expecting people to fill in much more themselves. As for the general brain damage from RLHF and the political bias, no word still.
Like "AGI, do all this random shit for me!"
AGI: No! i don't wanna!
