honestly, yes, i really suspect this is true. i’ve been using chatgpt since the beta days to help with studying chinese, and i’ve noticed over the months that its replies have gotten increasingly wordy.
the good thing is that you can tell it to be more concise, less bot-like, not so apologetic, etc., and it’ll trim down its responses for as long as it can “remember” (whatever the token limit is on persistence). it’ll be great when llms have, by default, a bit of persistent memory to remember things like this
