According to various X users, this Thursday they have been reported that ChatGPT introduced a different new option for users.
It seems that in the new update, all OpenAI ChatGPT users can mention their preferred nickname, their profession, and even some traits that the OpenAI chatbot should have in the conversation. The company suggestions for traits are traits such as “chatty”, “encouraging” or “Gen Z”, but users are free to mention any trait.
It’s important to mention that this feature is completely separate from the memory function, which allows users to train OpenAI’s ChatGPT to remember or even forget certain details. So, while the AI ChatGPT memories feature can include personal details and information, it can also cover a wider range of details relevant to the conversation.
However, it seems that these new options are not available for everyone yet, as only some users have seen them in the OpenAI ChatGPT’s settings. We don’t know for sure when exactly they will become worldwide available to use as some users are now reporting that new ChatGPT features have disappeared, indicating possibly that they were released too soon by mistake.
So, the new menu is likely more an aesthetic update rather than a significant technical improvement, due to the fact that the previous feature addition was about prompt engineering to shape the OpenAI chatbot style and tone in conversations. It seems that the updated menu is still based on prompt engineering but is presented to users in a more easy-to-use way.
As the AI ChatGPT user base is expanding gradually, OpenAI is looking for various methods the refine the chatbot in order to be the most helpful for all users. Recently, OpenAI has launched a live web search and also a new “Canvas” interface for those who are looking to use AI ChatGPT for writing and coding projects. And according to OpenAI, about 300 million people are using the OpenAI chatbot every week.
So, it remains to be seen if these new options will be officially launched by the company or if we will wait longer to see them available for every user. Stay tuned for more updates!
