OpenAI has given its users a great gift. Now you can not only ask ChatGPT questions, but also control how it answers them. The company has rolled out new 'Personality Settings' that give users the freedom to completely customize their interaction with the AI.
What's special about the new update?
OpenAI revealed in a post on social media platform X that users can now change the tone of ChatGPT's conversations according to their preferences. The company has added four new options to the personalization settings:
1. Warmth: How warmly or familiarly the AI interacts with you
2. Enthusiasm: How enthusiastic the AI appears while responding
3. Headers & Lists: Whether you want the answer in paragraphs or with bullet points and headings
4. Emoji: Whether to use fewer or more emojis in the conversation
How will these features work?
For all these options, users will get three settings: More, Less, and Default. If you want ChatGPT to talk like a friend, you can increase Warmth and Enthusiasm. If you are using it for your professional work, you can reduce Emoji usage and increase Headers to get a clean and precise answer. This new update further enhances the 'Personality Presets' (such as Professional, Candid, and Quirky) of ChatGPT 5.1, which were introduced last month.
Why was this change needed?
This change is a result of user feedback. Many users had complained that GPT-5's responses seemed too formal, cautious, and boring. Through these new options, OpenAI wants to ensure that the chatbot can adapt and respond according to your style and mood.
Adult Mode postponed until 2026
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had promised this feature back in October. When GPT-5 was released, users criticized it for being "less dynamic." At that time, Altman also mentioned a new "adult mode," which would allow certain types of content for verified adults. However, the company has now confirmed that while personality settings have gone live, the adult mode has been postponed until 2026.
