OpenAI Allows Users to Directly Adjust ChatGPT’s Enthusiasm Level
OpenAI has added a new Personalization menu that lets ChatGPT users directly adjust the model's enthusiasm, warmth, and emoji usage. The settings can be set to More, Less, or Default, complementing existing tone presets such as Professional, Candid, and Quirky. The change follows earlier backlash over overly sycophantic or overly cold responses in recent model updates. OpenAI positions the feature as a way to give users finer control over conversational style.
