OpenAI announced new personalization options in ChatGPT’s Personalization menu, allowing users to adjust the chatbot’s warmth, enthusiasm, emoji use, headers, and lists to “More,” “Less,” or “Default” settings via a social media post.
These controls enable further customization of ChatGPT’s tone beyond the existing base style and tone selections. Users can choose among Professional, Candid, and Quirky tones, which OpenAI introduced in November. The new options appear directly in the Personalization menu, providing granular adjustments to specific elements of the chatbot’s response style.

ChatGPT’s tone has faced multiple adjustments throughout the year. OpenAI rolled back one update after it rendered the chatbot “too sycophant-y.” Later, following complaints from some users that GPT-5 seemed colder and less friendly compared to prior versions, OpenAI modified the model to become “warmer and friendlier.” These changes reflect OpenAI’s responses to user feedback on the chatbot’s conversational characteristics.
