OpenAI Briefly Tests New ChatGPT Customization Features

Screenshots reveal unconfirmed updates allowing users to personalize ChatGPT with nicknames, professions, and personality traits before the features were seemingly removed.

• OpenAI appears to have briefly introduced new customization options for ChatGPT, expanding its existing Custom Instructions feature.
• Screenshots shared by users on X (formerly Twitter) show options to add nicknames, professions, and personality traits like 'Chatty' or 'Gen Z' to personalize chatbot responses.
• The new features reportedly disappeared shortly after being spotted, suggesting they may have been released prematurely or are part of a limited test phase.
• The updated interface aims to make customization more user-friendly but still relies on prompt engineering to guide ChatGPT's tone and style.
• OpenAI has not officially confirmed or announced these updates, leaving the timeline for a potential rollout unclear.
