San Francisco: So, OpenAI just rolled out this cool new feature for ChatGPT. You can now customize how the chatbot interacts with you. Pretty neat, right?

Users on X were buzzing about it, saying the custom instructions menu got a makeover. You can now tell ChatGPT your name, profession, and even what kind of vibe you want it to have. Think “Chatty” or “Gen Z.”

There’s a little prompt that says, “Introduce yourself to get better, more personalized responses.” It’s like giving your chatbot a personality!

But here’s the kicker: some folks are saying the new options aren’t showing up for them yet. TechCrunch is trying to get the scoop from OpenAI to see what’s going on.

It seems like this update is more about making things look nicer rather than a huge tech upgrade. The old feature used something called prompt engineering to shape ChatGPT’s responses. Now, it’s just a bit more user-friendly.

OpenAI has been working hard to improve ChatGPT as more people jump on board. They’ve added features like live web search and a special interface for writing and coding. Last I heard, over 300 million people are using it every week!
