A STRANGE theory claims ChatGPT is now seasonally depressed and behaving lazier during this time of year.
Several users have expressed their concerns about the bot online and experts have waded in with theories.
According to Futurism and Ars Technica, it might not just be humans who suffer from seasonal depression.
Since late November, users are said to have noticed ChatGPT becoming lazier.
The artificial intelligence apparently provided simple results or refused to do tasks.
Even OpenAI has admitted that there’s something wrong with its chatbot.
It wrote on X: “We’ve heard all your feedback about GPT4 getting lazier!
“We haven’t updated the model since Nov 11th, and this certainly isn’t intentional. model behavior can be unpredictable, and we’re looking into fixing it.”
Users were quick to repost OpenAI and make the seasonal depression link.
One person wrote on X: “Not chat GPT having seasonal depression.”
Another said: “Part of me wonders if #ChatGPT gets seasonal depression too?
“I mean, aren’t we all feeling a little lazier now that the sun is setting at 4pm?”
While one person wrote: “Did ChatGPT get seasonal depression” and added a crying emoji.
