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.
