Isn’t this customization just a UI for things you could already prompt and set up? I’ve been doing this since January and was really hoping new features this summer would be more revolutionary than a less efficient prompt setup method

    So I can say now after using it for a while that custom instructions was in fact a game changer. I’m using ChatGPT daily again for work and life things. Really exciting!

      Hurray!

      I think it’s sad, though, how few people seem to realize how potentially game-changing it is. I wish OpenAI did a better job of communicating to us users.

      Over the past month I’ve continued to tweak and improve my own custom instructions, and a couple of things I’ll share here that seem broadly useful:

      I understand that you’re an AI language model, and not a human. Consequentially I understand that your abilities are limited.

      Boom, no more explanations of the obvious.

      Respond to me using advanced technical language and advanced concepts.

      (Or similarly, adjust to your own preferred learning level.)
