‘Compromised’ ChatGPT Churns Out Gibberish For Many Hours

Synopsis:

ChatGPT responded to user inquiries with illogical answers, or gibberish for several hours on Tuesday and Wednesday before regaining its senses.

ChatGPT responded to user inquiries with illogical reasoning for several hours on Tuesday and Wednesday prior to regaining its composure.
The developer of the preeminent generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool in the world, OpenAI, stated that a software modification “introduced a bug in the way the model processes language.”

“Once the cause of this incident was identified, a fix was implemented and it was confirmed that the issue had been resolved,” the statement continued.

ChatGPT generated “abnormal” responses, including nonsensical words, fragmented sentences, and general nonsense, according to developers who utilized the tool and posted in an OpenAI website discussion forum.

One developer lamented, “It provides me with insignificant phrases followed by a strange list.”

“It appears as if my GPT has a spirit or something has been compromised, either on my end or at OpenAI’s (end).”

After over 16 hours had elapsed, OpenAI made the necessary updates to the page to reflect the restoration of normal operations for ChatGPT.

In response to a query from AFP, the technology firm headquartered in San Francisco directed the inquiry to the ChatGPT status page.

OpenAI reportedly reached an agreement with investors to value the startup at $80 billion or more recently, following a turbulent year for the technology company.

The agreement, which The New York Times reported but OpenAI has not yet confirmed, would have nearly tripled the value of the company in less than ten months. OpenAI is the global authority in generative AI.

OpenAI spearheaded an AI revolution in late 2022 with the launch of its ChatGPT program.

The interface’s instantaneous triumph generated considerable interest in the state-of-the-art technology, which had the ability to generate images, audio, and text in response to user input.

OpenAI, the same company that produces the image-generating DALL-E, has just introduced Sora, a new application that generates convincing videos of up to one minute in length in response to straightforward user commands.

Microsoft has invested approximately $13 billion in OpenAI, incorporating the technology developed by the startup into its Bing search engine and other services.

Microsoft and Google are engaged in an intense rivalry regarding the introduction of novel AI-powered tools. In fact, the US Federal Trade Commission initiated an inquiry into the substantial investments made by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon in these specialized start-ups in January.
