ChatGPT's Chinese mode collapse creates 'steady catch' meme
chinese users report openai's models suffer from 'mode collapse,' overusing the phrase 'i will catch you steadily' (我会稳稳地接住你). the repetitive, overly affectionate language stems from post-training feedback issues. openai researcher boyuan chen acknowledged the meme in an april image generation demo.
OpenAI's models exhibit 'mode collapse' in Chinese, repetitively using the phrase 'I will catch you steadily' (我会稳稳地接住你) and the PDD marketing slogan 'cut it once.' Max Spero, CEO of Pangram, attributes this to reinforcement learning feedback that fails to penalize repetition frequency. Zeng Fanyu developed the open-source prompt engineering tool Jiezhu in response, while OpenAI researcher Boyuan Chen publicly acknowledged the quirk in an April sample image.
