OpenAI introduced four new personalities for ChatGPT: cynic, robot, listener, and nerd. Each personality has a distinct way of responding, with the cynic providing sarcasm and humor, while the robot offers concise and helpful answers. Users can select the level of sarcasm and tone when interacting with the chatbot. Personalities currently operate in text format, with voice capabilities forthcoming. None of the new personalities are groundbreaking, as customization was already possible, but some users may prefer the cynic's comedic approach or the robot's efficiency.
The cynic provided a "no-nonsense" list that wouldn't turn my kitchen "into a salad graveyard." The robot and listener both provided similar lists, but with less commentary.
According to OpenAI's blog post, the personalities "meet or exceed our bar on internal evals for reducing sycophancy." I tried chatting with each personality.
Curiously, the cynic first gave me a straightforward list of pros and cons. "I thought you were the cynic," I responded.
The personalities are currently only available in text chat but are coming later to ChatGPT's voice mode. None were revolutionary; users could already modify ChatGPT's tone.
