All ChatGPT users now have access to “custom instructions” thanks to OpenAI. Previously, only paying ChatGPT Plus subscribers had access to the feature. With this feature, users can customize ChatGPT’s responses based on their preferences by adding precise instructions. For instance, you can supply these “custom instructions” if you want ChatGPT to respond in bullet points or with fewer than 200 words so that all responses are generated in accordance with the user’s choices. Users that have custom preferences can save time by not having to write the same prompts over and over again. This functionality is presently available on the ChatGPT website, and it will soon be available on the Android and iOS apps as well.
Details on with the custom instructions function, which is available to free users, ChatGPT can now recognize your preferences
The custom instructions feature enables users to “tailor ChatGPT” to their preferences, according to a blog post by OpenAI. “ChatGPT will take into account your custom instructions for every conversation moving forward,” the statement continues. You won’t need to repeat your preferences or details in each chat because the model will take the instructions into account whenever it responds.
According to OpenAI, the functionality can assist a teacher in creating a “lesson plan” without always requiring that it be written for third graders. Similar to this, you may give a custom instruction to the AI chatbot to make a grocery list that will always produce a list with six servings. Click on your name in the bottom left corner of ChatGPT online and choose custom instructions to use custom features. Include precise instructions, such as your preferred reply length (long, short, bulleted) or tone (professional or informal). For better and more personalized responses, you can also provide the AI chatbot with personal information.
Only a few weeks have passed since Google debuted a feature akin to custom instructions in Bard; OpenAI has decided to make them available to all users. Users of Bard can now “customize” their responses by, among other things, lengthening or shortening them. Users of this feature can alter the response but not the pre-set instructions, which makes it slightly different from personalized preferences. Users will still be required to enter the prompts, but they can afterwards change the tone using certain toggles.
However, after integrating Google Lens into Bard, Bard might have a little advantage. On Bard, users can contribute photographs and analyze content as well as other writings. A comparable service is also available through ChatGPT, but exclusively to paying members. Microsoft Bing, on the other hand, enables users to create responses in several tones, like “price,” “creative,” and “balanced.” Users can upload photographs using Bing chat as well.
