ChatGPT cancels latest update after it became ‘dangerously sycophantic’ - Update encouraged users when they suggested potentially harmful behaviour

OpenAI is getting rid of a ChatGPT update that was putting users on a pedestal and creeping some of them out. "The update we removed was overly flattering or agreeable—often described as sycophantic," OpenAI wrote in a company blog post on Tuesday.

The AI company acknowledges that last week's update to ChatGPT made it too informal and friendly, prompting it to pull its release.
