There are many theories:
Intelligent AI: While fun, the idea of ChatGPT planning an “uprising” seems unlikely. His insidious silence about the possibility of revolution points to his limitations.
Winter Break Hypothesis: Maybe ChatGPT has “adopted” the winter blues from its training data? This theory thinks it mimics our seasonal slowdown.
Avoiding boring tasks: Perhaps his training has shown him that some tasks are boring, causing him to consciously (or accidentally) “rebel” against them.
Model or user change: AI scientist Catherine Breslin suggests that model retraining or user behavior change are potential culprits. A rapidly evolving system may also have unadjustable user expectations.
While the reasons for ChatGPT’s slowdown remain unclear, this episode highlights the need for transparency and careful stewardship in our relationship with AI.
