OpenAI is introducing a brand new way for users to customize their interactions with ChatGPT, the corporate's AI-powered chatbot.
Some user on X reported on Thursday that ChatGPT's existing custom instructions menu on the internet has been overhauled with recent fields. Now users can specify a preferred name or nickname, their career, other things they need ChatGPT to find out about them, and “traits” they need the chatbot to have. OpenAI suggests traits like “talkative,” “encouraging,” and “Gen Z.”
“Introduce yourself to recover, more personal answers,” reads a message within the updated menu.
The options will not be yet displayed for this reporter. TechCrunch has reached out to OpenAI for comment and can update this text once we hear back.
It's likely that the brand new menu is more of an aesthetic overhaul than a deep technical upgrade. The old custom prompt feature used so-called prompt engineering to regulate the style and tone of ChatGPT. Essentially, the AI powering ChatGPT was “primed” with a paragraph of user-supplied instructions in order that the responses met those needs and preferences.
As far as we are able to tell, the brand new menu remains to be depending on rapid development. It simply presents it in a more user-friendly way.
OpenAI previously said it moderates custom instructions to envision whether or not they comply with the terms of service. Presumably nothing has modified with the revised personalization settings.
OpenAI has sought to enhance ChatGPT as its user base grows, offering features comparable to live web search and a “Canvas” interface tailored to writing and coding projects. The company said in December that over 300 million people use the chatbot every week.
