ChatGPT has a reputation for being a bit guffy, sycophantic and an over-enthusiastic deployer of emojis.
Some people don’t want it to return gushing praise and corrections of ‘You’re absolutely right!’ They’d much rather cut it back to what it is: a machine.
These prompts can be placed in the ChatGPT custom instructions, CustomGPT or project instructions. Useful if you want fast returns without the fluff.
