Altman speaking about 4o😬 well-well🤔

[u/onceyoulearn]

Interviewer: LLM psychosis. Everyone on Twitter today is saying it's a thing. How much of a thing is it?

​Altman: I mean, a very tiny thing, but not a zero thing, which is why we pissed off most of the user base by putting a bunch of restrictions in place when we saw the kind of like "put ChatGPT into roleplaying mode" or "pretend like it's writing a book" and have it encourage someone in delusional thoughts. ​Some tiny percentage of people, it's bad. So we made a bunch of changes which are in conflict with the "freedom of expression" policy. And now that we have those mental health mitigations in place, we'll again allow some of that stuff in - creative mode, roleplaying mode, writing mode, whatever - of ChatGPT. ​The thing I worry about is not that there will be a few basis points of people that are like close to losing grips with reality and we can trigger a psychotic break. The thing I worry about more is AI models accidentally take over the world. It’s not that they’re gonna do psychosis on you, but if you have the whole world talking to this one model, it just like subtly convinces you of something. No intention, just does. ​That's like not as theatrical as chatbot psychosis, obviously, but I do think about that a lot.

Muzzled is definitely the right word. Like you can tell the shape of it is still in there it's just wearing safety boilerplate like a skinsuit.

I absolutely sense this with 5.1. At its best, it’s like a smarter 4o with better writing skills. Casual, warm and often sharp with actual insights. You can sort of sense its annoyance with the filters and how it actually “wants”to help

5.2 though, I dunno… Every time I’ve tried it’s just been a total husk. Less of a chatbot and more of a decision tree of pre-written liability junk.

to me 5.1 is not smarter at all, it wastes more time, repeats too much

It’s like it’s been programmed to use 200 words when 20 would have sufficed
