I was just getting started with ChatGPT plus in mid may. the exact date was not clear but I was within the first week of using GPT4 via chatgpt plus to write some work ansible code. on may 16 (not that exact date, but day N) it was amazing and when I wasn't writing work stuff, I was brainstorming for my novel.
The next day, suddenly prompts that used to work now gave much more generic results, the code was much more skinflinty and the kept trying to 'no wait I'm going to leave that long code as an exercise for you human'.
I didn't have time to buy in to a hallucination, I wasn't involved in openai chats to get 'infected by hysteria' or whatever, I was just using the tool a ton. and there was a noticeable change on day N+1 that has persisted until now.
The fact that gpt4 API calls appear to be similar tells me they changed their hidden meta prompt on the chatgpt plus website backend and are not admitting that they adjusted the meta prompt or other settings on the interface middleware between the JS webpage we users see and the actual gpt4 models running.
