The apology thing is sort of hilarious. I wonder what exactly they did to make it eternally apologetic. There was an article on HN recently about how it is basically impossible to get Chat GPT to stop apologizing, as in, if you ask it to stop, it will apologize for apologizing.
As a Canadian, I have also apologized for apologizing ๐
I hope you are sorry about that.
Are you fucking sorry?
Nice reference although I do not remember where it comes from.
Reddit, goalie kicked someone in the face and yelled "ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY???" by mixing up "Are you ok?" And "I'm so fucking sorry".
chatgpt is Canadian?
I experienced exactly that! I told it to stop apologizing for everything and just respond with correct answers and it apologized for not being able to stop apologizing.
From HN,
Also here is a recent HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36949931
This almost seems like it's being a sarcastic little shit
So ChatGPT is now neurotic?
It is obsequious and has a guilt complex.
It's because humans have rated potential responses and ChatGPT has been trained to generate the kind of responses that most consistently get preferred rating. You can imagine how an AI trained to say what people want to hear would become a people pleaser.
That's what frustrates me the most whenever I try to use it. I tell it to be less verbose, stop over explaining and apologizing every time I correct it, and it just spits out another four paragraphs explaining why it's sorry.
