It seems to me that there’s lots of room to change stuff that profoundly affects the range of responses without altering the base model. The prompt template alone seems like a place outside the model where we’ve seen safeguards get implemented, and other stuff that affects the usefulness of a model’s responses.

I'm of the same mind, and I believe they're keeping their ear to the ground to address any jailbreaks and loopholes. I have tricked GPT-4 into spitting out text it shouldn't have, only to have it dance around the same prompts less than 24 hours later. This "the model is the same" response seems like a deliberate deflection meant to mask the mechanical turk that ChatGPT is becoming.
