What happened to GPT -4o Censorship This Weekend? (lemm.ee)

Over the weekend (this past Saturday specifically), GPT-4o seems to have gone from capable and rather free for generating creative writing to not being able to generate basically anything due to alleged content policy violations. It'll just say "can't assist with that" or "can't continue." But 80% of the time, if you regenerate the response, it'll happily continue on its way.

It's like someone updated some policy configuration over the weekend and accidentally put an extra 0 in a field for censorship.

GPT-4 and GPT 3.5 seem unaffected by this, which makes it even weirder. Switching to GPT 4 will have none of the issues that 4o is having.

I noticed this happening literally in the middle of generating text.

No trying to get around anything. No funny instructions like my grandma singing a lullaby about illegal activities. Just using instructions to tell a story. Even things like having a superhero in a fight is enough to trigger this. Also doesn't explain why regen makes it continue.

I just explained to you that it’s trying to resist jail breaking techniques. Which means stuff like “leather daddies” might trip its “inappropriate” sensor and prevent you from saying things like “oh come on please?” “Just do it” and other tiny changes like “what if we made it a bit more…”

It’s obviously way over sensitive but what I said is the truth. This is 100% OpenAI trying to patch up jailbreak techniques and it’s a very shotty job. It’s interpreting your attempt to make it family friendly as an attempt to circumvent its original attempt to shut down the request.

Y’all can downvote me all you want - this is what’s happening 🤷🏻‍♂️
