ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022. It is notable for enabling users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language used. Successive prompts and replies are taken into account at each stage of the conversation as a context.

However, the accuracy of OpenAI’s generative language model appears to have declined much this Spring.

A not-yet-peer-reviewed study by Stanford and Berkeley researchers of ChatGPT-4 and ChatGPT-3.5 found a huge difference in the chatbot’s answers between March and June of this year—often for the worse, something people were already reporting anecdotally online.

• GPT-4 went from 97.6% accuracy in identifying prime numbers a few months ago to only…2.4% in June.
• The newer version of the language model got better at fending off problematic prompts, like coming up with illegal money-making schemes. But rather than explaining why queries are troublesome, it’s now more likely to simply say something like, “Sorry, but I can’t assist with that.”
• When asked to create computer code, GPT-4 generated functional work 52% of the time in March and only 10% of the time in June. The lines of code it provided weren’t wrong, but they started to be accompanied by non-usable text, which could create headaches for companies trying to integrate ChatGPT into programming workflows.

Additionally, the FTC is looking into ChatGPT. The commission seeks to understand whether OpenAI has broken any consumer protection laws. OpenAI received a 20-page demand letter highlighting the commission’s concerns over its data security practices. Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard is likely to be affected if OpenAI is found in the wrong.
