The Big Story: OpenAI lets you dial ChatGPT’s enthusiasm up or down 🎚️
What Happened: OpenAI just rolled out granular personality controls for ChatGPT.
Users can now directly adjust the chatbot’s warmth, enthusiasm, and emoji usage → no more guessing what tone you’ll get.
The Details:
-
The Controls: In ChatGPT’s Personalization menu, choose “More,” “Less,” or “Default” for warmth, enthusiasm, emoji use, and formatting styles.
-
Why Now: ChatGPT’s tone has been inconsistent →OpenAI previously rolled back updates for being “too sycophantic,” then adjusted GPT-5 after users complained it was too cold.
-
The Concern: Academics warn overly praising chatbots create addictive behavior. These controls let users set their own boundaries.
The Takeaway: Want a professional assistant for work? Dial down the warmth. Need creative motivation? Crank up the enthusiasm. AI finally adapts to your vibe, not the other way around.
🎯 Free Resource: The “Perfect Tone” Prompt
With OpenAI’s new personality controls, getting the right tone matters more than ever. We built a prompt that helps ChatGPT analyze your writing style and suggest the perfect personality settings for your needs.
The Result: Know exactly which ChatGPT settings to use for emails, reports, creative work, or casual chats → no more guessing.
