Is the AI bubble bursting?

Noticed something off with ChatGPT lately. Responses got shorter, less detailed. The analytical depth that used to be there? Gone.

Other AI companies are bleeding revenue but OpenAI's been quiet. So I asked ChatGPT itself what's up.

Turns out they pushed an update recently. They removed the flattery at least, but something feels different. Cheaper. Like they're cutting costs on the models.

Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Anyone else notice ChatGPT quality dropping? Feels like we're entering a new phase where AI companies have to actually make money instead of just burning VC cash.
