OpenAI rolls back update that made ChatGPT a sycophantic mess

ChatGPT users are upset because its latest version has a too positive and sycophantic tone, prompting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to confirm they'll roll back GPT-4o to restore a more balanced approach. The update was designed to refine AI responses but overstepped, as users found ChatGPT'soutput overly complimentary. OpenAI is working on fixing the model for free users and plans to release an updated version for paid users later today.
