OpenAI Introduces New ChatGPT Personalization Settings Amid User Reports of Malfunctions
近日,OpenAI为其AI聊天机器人ChatGPT推出了个性化设置的新功能,旨在增强用户体验。然而,一些用户在X平台上报告称,新的选项尚未出现,而原有的自定义指令菜单却有所变化,这引发了关于新功能可能提前上线的猜测。
根据用户反馈,ChatGPT网页端的自定义指令菜单已经更新,新增了用户偏好名称、职业、希望ChatGPT了解的其他信息以及期望的聊天机器人“特质”等选项。OpenAI推荐的特质包括“健谈”、“鼓励性”和“Z世代”等。值得注意的是,这一功能与ChatGPT的记忆功能并无直接联系,后者允许用户明确指示ChatGPT记住或忘记某些信息。
尽管新功能旨在提供更加个性化的回应,但并非所有用户都能立即看到这些选项。OpenAI尚未对此作出正式回应。
分析认为,此次更新主要是对界面进行了优化,而非技术上的重大升级。此前的自定义指令功能已经通过提示工程来引导ChatGPT的风格和语气,即通过用户提供的指令段落来“预设”AI的回答,确保其符合用户的需求和偏好。当前来看,新菜单依旧依赖于提示工程,只是以更友好的方式呈现给用户。
OpenAI之前曾表示会对自定义指令进行审核,以确保其符合使用条款。预计这一政策在更新后的个性化设置中保持不变。
随着用户数量的增长,OpenAI不断改进ChatGPT,增加了实时网页搜索和专为写作与编程项目设计的“画布”界面等功能。据统计,截至去年12月,每周有超过3亿用户使用该聊天机器人。
Recently, OpenAI has introduced new personalization settings for its AI chatbot ChatGPT to enhance user experience. However, some users on platform X have reported that the new options are yet to appear, while the existing custom instruction menu has undergone changes, sparking speculation about an early release of the new features. According to user feedback, the custom instruction menu on ChatGPT's web interface has been updated with additional fields such as preferred name, occupation, other information ChatGPT should know, and desired traits of the chatbot like "chatty," "encouraging," and "Gen Z." It is worth noting that this feature is not directly related to ChatGPT's memory function, which allows users to explicitly instruct ChatGPT to remember or forget certain information. Although the new features aim to provide more personalized responses, not all users can see these options immediately. OpenAI has not officially responded to this issue yet. Analysts believe that this update mainly focuses on improving the interface rather than a significant technological upgrade. The previous custom instruction feature already utilized prompt engineering to guide ChatGPT's style and tone by using user-provided instruction paragraphs to "preset" AI responses, ensuring they meet user requirements and preferences. Currently, the new menu still relies on prompt engineering but presents it in a friendlier manner. OpenAI had previously stated that it would review custom instructions to ensure compliance with terms of service. This policy is expected to remain unchanged in the updated personalization settings. As the user base grows, OpenAI continues to improve ChatGPT by adding features such as real-time web search and a "canvas" interface designed specifically for writing and coding projects. According to statistics, over 300 million users utilize the chatbot weekly as of last December.
