ChatGPT Added New Personality Controls (Here’s Where to Find Them)

Does it feel like ChatGPT’s personality changes every few weeks? With the rapid release of GPT-5, 5.1, and 5.2, OpenAI has been tweaking the AI’s emulated personality and not everyone is happy about it. This video shows the new Personalization controls that allow you to take back command of how your AI sounds, behaves, and formats data. The Personalization Blueprint: 1. Access the Menu: Click your profile icon in the bottom left, select the menu, and go to Personalization. 2. Set Your Base Style: Choose from new presets like Professional, Friendly, Candid, Quirky, Efficient, Nerdy, or Cynical. 3. Adjust Granular Characteristics: Use the new "More" or "Less" toggles to fine-tune four specific areas: - Warmth: Choose between personable or factual. - Enthusiasm: Dial-up the energy or keep it calm and neutral. - Headers & Lists: Force scannable formatting or stick to plain paragraphs. - Emojis: Finally, a persistent way to limit (or increase) those icons. 4. Custom Instructions: For anything these sliders don't cover, the Custom Instructions field remains the ultimate tool for specific behavioral rules. By setting these as your system-level defaults, you no longer have to waste space in your prompts telling the AI to "be professional" or "don't use lists." #ChatGPT #AIProductivity #openai #ai #aiquicktips #thoughtsbrewing ➡️ Level Up Your AI Skills: Ready to move past single hacks to full mastery?
