OpenAI has introduced a revamped "Custom Instructions" feature for ChatGPT, offering a UI makeover that allows users to personalize their interactions by assigning traits such as "chatty" or "Gen Z." The updated interface provides four customization options, including specifying a preferred name, profession, and other preferences to receive tailored responses. This feature builds on the existing prompt engineering approach, making customization more user-friendly. The rollout is ongoing, with some users already reporting access. OpenAI has also emphasized moderation to ensure compliance with its terms. This update follows other enhancements, including live web search and a "Canvas" interface for writing and coding projects. ChatGPT currently boasts over 300 million weekly active users.

It's been months and ChatGPT still can't correctly incorporate Search knowledge into a response. Simply put: Adding "Don't Search" to the beginning of a prompt should not significantly change the output. Yet I still find myself frequently using "Don't Search." @OpenAI
