ChatGPT power users – this is for you! OpenAI just decided to end the personality tug-of-war by letting you directly tweak how ChatGPT comes across – from how friendly it feels to how excited it gets about literally anything you ask.

Gone are the days of settling for one default “voice.” Dive into the Personalization settings and you’ll find sliders that let you bump up warmth for that cozy, human-like vibe, or dial it down when you want a hyper-efficient, no-nonsense assistant. There’s even a control for enthusiasm, so you decide whether your AI feels like your hype partner or your stoic analytical engine.

Emoji phobics and emoji addicts alike now get a say: choose how many little icons pepper your responses, from “none, ever” to “make it sparkle.” Adjust formatting preferences too – like how frequently headers and lists appear – so the output matches your style without forced prompt gymnastics.

Why does this matter? Because great output isn’t just about what you get – it’s about how it lands. Want a softer touch for creative brainstorming? Dial up warmth. Need a laser-focused business summary? Tone down the fluff and emojis. These aren’t superficial bells and whistles; they’re design choices that help your AI meet you where you work, create, and communicate.

But let’s keep it real: no matter how many sliders you have, this doesn’t change the facts ChatGPT provides – it just changes the vibe. So tweak, experiment, and make your AI feel like yours – but remember: it’s your judgment that still drives the value.
