""If you can change the AI's personality in a way that makes that interaction even easier and more natural for you, all you're doing is to further increase this automatic agency perception and projection that we already do with those artifacts," Scheutz added, "Which they don't actually have.""

OpenAI released GPT-5.1, adding seven selectable personalities—professional, friendly, candid, quirky, efficient, nerdy, and cynical—and new customization tools. The update follows user backlash after GPT-4o was replaced by GPT-5, which some users criticized as degraded. The release restores options for personalization and aims to improve instruction following and adaptive reasoning.

The release includes opportunities for users to switch preferences and test distinct personality presets for varied interaction styles.
