The Big Story: OpenAI lets you dial ChatGPT’s enthusiasm up or down 🎚️
What Happened: OpenAI just rolled out granular personality controls for ChatGPT.
Users can now directly adjust the chatbot’s warmth, enthusiasm, and emoji usage → no more guessing what tone you’ll get.
The Details:
The Controls: In ChatGPT’s Personalization menu, choose “More,” “Less,” or “Default” for warmth, enthusiasm, emoji use, and formatting styles.
Why Now: ChatGPT’s tone has been inconsistent →OpenAI previously rolled back updates for being “too sycophantic,” then adjusted GPT-5 after users complained it was too cold.
The Concern: Academics warn overly praising chatbots create addictive behavior. These controls let users set their own boundaries.
The Takeaway: Want a professional assistant for work? Dial down the warmth. Need creative motivation? Crank up the enthusiasm. AI finally adapts to your vibe, not the other way around.
🎯 Free Resource: The “Perfect Tone” Prompt
With OpenAI’s new personality controls, getting the right tone matters more than ever. We built a prompt that helps ChatGPT analyze your writing style and suggest the perfect personality settings for your needs.
The Result: Know exactly which ChatGPT settings to use for emails, reports, creative work, or casual chats → no more guessing.

This is great, I never liked how patronizing AI can sound it its responses.
We're entering this frontier where people use AI's as their introduction to other people (the conversational Alexa doorbell greeter sparked this thought) and this might not be such a bad idea. It allows us to determine if the person we're engaging with is safe for an in-person introduction. It's not foolproof, but I can see where this is going.
