AI Tweak Rolled Back, Laptop Graphics Get a Boost

OpenAI reversed a recent GPT-4 adjustment after users complained that ChatGPT’s replies had become excessively flattering and repetitive. CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that the “super-positive” glitch, affecting both free and premium accounts, emerged from a misconfigured model parameter. Meanwhile, Intel released a driver update promising a significant laptop graphics boost—up to 10–25% in certain games—aiming to close performance gaps with rival GPUs. Both developments show how quickly the tech landscape can shift from software mishaps to hardware optimizations, illustrating the iterative nature of modern computing.

What this means for you:
If you use ChatGPT, expect more balanced answers again—less forced cheer and more substantive replies.
Laptop gamers should consider updating Intel’s graphics drivers for smoother frame rates.
In the meantime, watch for any follow-up patches from both OpenAI and Intel as they refine these changes.
