ChatGPT’s newest feature has been enhanced to make you type a little less. This is called “special instructions” and gives your chatbot a place to always tell it what it needs to know about you and how you want it to respond to your questions.
This feature is in beta, works wherever ChatGPT does, and is now optionally available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers everywhere except the UK and EU.
In her example, Joanne Jang, who works on model behaviors and product at OpenAI, says, “If you’re a teacher, you can write ‘I’m teaching third grade’ in your specific instructions, so every time you ask interesting facts about the Moon, the bot will tailor its response to the right age group.”
It is still difficult to say exactly how users will create their custom instructions and how ChatGPT will interpret them. In a sense, adding these instructions only increases the complexity of your query, which can make a tool like ChatGPT even more prone to error or fabrication.
Ultimately, it is said that custom instructions can be more dynamic and interactive. While you are telling ChatGPT about yourself, it should learn about you at the same time, and it should be easy to access and adjust all this information as you wish. OpenAI also wants to make sure your special instructions cannot override the system’s security tools. The company also promises that it will try to remove personally identifying information from your instructions and queries.
