You can just tell the AI to not be warm and it will remember. My ChatGPT used the phrase "turn it up to eleven" and I told it never to speak in that manner ever again and its been very robotic ever since.

I added the custom instruction "Please go straight to the point, be less chatty". Now it begins every answer with: "Straight to the point, no fluff:" or something similar. It seems to be perfectly unable to simply write out the answer without some form of small talk first.

  • I had a similar instruction and in voice mode I had it trying to make a story for a game that my daughter and I were playing where it would occasionally say “3,2,1 go!” or perhaps throw us off and say “3,2,1, snow!” or other rhymes.

    Long story short it took me a while to figure out why I had to keep telling it to keep going and the story was so straightforward.

  • Since switching to robot mode I haven’t seen it say “no fluff”. Good god I hate it when it says no fluff.

I system-prompted all my LLMs "Don't use cliches or stereotypical language." and they like me a lot less now.

  • They really like to blow sunshine up your ass don’t they? I have to do the same type of stuff. It’s like have to assure that I’m a big boy and I can handle mature content like programming in C
