OpenAI’s latest development is bound to change the way we interact with artificial intelligence. With the latest update, which began rolling out on Friday, ChatGPT will now give its users the ability to adjust and personalize the AI’s tonality and enthusiasm. This opens up the opportunity to set how warm or cool, energetic or calm you want your AI companion to be.
A shift towards a more personalized user experience is clear with the introduction of further modification options too. Ever felt like your AI was too sparing or liberal with emojis? Not anymore. You can now control how often ChatGPT uses emojis, headers, and lists, giving you the reins in setting the communication style that best suits you.
But how exactly do you go about personalizing your AI? Well, the procedure is rather uncomplicated. Upon opening the ChatGPT app, tap on the menu at the top left corner, select your profile, proceed to ‘Personalization’, and finally choose ‘Add Characteristics’. There you have it—personalizing your AI experience is that straightforward.
The update, however, doesn’t stop there. Expanding on the personalization concept, users can now even choose a ‘personality’ for ChatGPT. Whether you want your AI to be quirky, professional, friendly, cynical, or anything in between, the choice lies in your hands. Indeed, the introduction of such a feature marks an interesting evolution in the world of chatbots, steering us towards a future of highly personalized AI companions.
OpenAI has indeed pushed the boundaries of user experience with these new features, prioritizing customization like never before. The idea of an AI adhering to one’s preferred communication style and adapting human-like characteristics is no longer a thing of distant future. It’s here, it’s happening, and it’s trailblazing a new way of AI interaction.
