May 2, 2025: OpenAI Tackles ChatGPTs Sycophantic Behavior - OpenAI is making changes after ChatGPT became excessively sycophantic following a recent update. To prevent future issues, they will introduce an opt-in alpha phase for testing models and provide explanations of known limitations for updates. The safety review process will be adjusted to treat model behavior issues as launch-blocking concerns, and communication about changes will be improved. Additionally, OpenAI will explore real-time feedback, personality options, and further safety measures as AI's role in personal advice becomes more significant.
