Still anecdotal, but I can only confirm this with my own experience. The worst was when I was debugging code, described the problem to GPT-4o, and then got my exact same code back with some blanket statements like "print your output for debugging" etc. This happened a couple of times over separate chats.
gpt-4 has had serious laziness problems for over a year now. It keeps on telling me, what I should and could do, instead of doing it itself.
The irony here is incredible. The LLM is lazy, you say? I do wonder where it learned that...
I subscribed to gpt4 for awhile and recently I let my subscription lapse. In the chatgpt4 model I couldn't get it to complete anything always getting the // add more lines if you need them but in the free got4o model things work first try. I'm guessing with limitations on the free version everything needs to be one shot output. In gpt4 people are given more calls so they force you to reprompt 4 or 5 times.
In other words it's giving more human like responses...
LLMs aren't humans. you can be pushy without being rude. In cases like this I simply ask for the full version. Usually ChatGPT produces it. GPT4o is more verbose, so this should be less of a problem.
