"OpenAI is making it easier for ChatGPT users to customize what it calls the chatbot's "personality" and communication style. ChatGPT now offers an updated personalization page, which OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previewed in a Tuesday . The new page includes a dropdown menu with a range of personality types, including "Cynic," "Robot, "Listener," and "Nerd," and a "custom instructions" prompt section, through which users can modify the chatbot's outputs with requests like "Avoid millennial jargon.""
"There are also sections where you can specify your preferred nickname and occupation, and another where you can list personal "interests, values, or preferences" -- the purpose of which appears to be to create a conversational experience that feels more like chatting with a trusted friend or colleague than with an unfeeling machine. Toward the bottom of the updated page, which is accessible now via settings in ChatGPT, you can modify the chatbot's memory capabilities."
OpenAI updated ChatGPT's personalization page to let users select defined personality types and fine-tune communication through custom instructions. The page provides a dropdown of personality options and a custom instructions prompt for specific output adjustments such as avoiding certain jargon. Users can set a preferred nickname, occupation, and list interests, values, or preferences to shape conversational tone toward a friendlier, colleague-like feel. Settings also include toggles for the chatbot's memory capabilities. Developers prioritize refining artificial personalities to balance accurate information with engaging, personable delivery, while avoiding past issues of sycophancy and excessive flattery.
