OpenAI’s flagship product, ChatGPT, has upped its game once more! With the introduction of “Custom Instructions”, users can now fine-tune their interactions, leading to an entirely renewed conversational experience.
Imagine being able to dictate how ChatGPT interacts with you in the finest of details. That’s precisely what this new feature offers. With a few easy tweaks in the settings of your ChatGPT webpage or app, you can set directives that shape the behavior of ChatGPT. The tedious task of repeating instructions? That’s a thing of the past now.
Initially reserved for US users, this innovation is now also accessible to audiences in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Here’s how it works: Simply click on your username, select “Custom Instructions”, and input your specific directives. A quick side note: changes made during an ongoing conversation will only take effect in the subsequent session.
But what can you really control? From the desired formality of responses, the length of replies, to personal salutations or even ChatGPT’s “opinion” – the possibilities are vast. And the cherry on top: These settings not only influence main interactions but also the output of plugins.
On the data security front, OpenAI continues to set high standards. All individual instructions you enter are meticulously managed and, in case of an account deletion, removed within 30 days. However, a word of caution: unless you explicitly opt out, anonymized records might still be retained.
In closing, a little tip: Should you ever fancy returning to ChatGPT’s standard replies, simply delete your personal instructions. Just like that, you’re back on familiar grounds.
With “Custom Instructions”, OpenAI brings a fresh twist to the world of conversational AI. A visit to their official website offers even deeper insights into this exciting feature. Dive into a personalized chat experience today!
