Others say it\u2019s weirdly sassy. And a few insist it\u2019s just judging them.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, OpenAI has decided the problem isn\u2019t the AI, it\u2019s vibes. And vibes, apparently, are customizable now.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on X, OpenAI announced a new set of personality sliders tucked into ChatGPT\u2019s Personalization settings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Users can now tweak how warm, enthusiastic, emoji-happy, or list-obsessed their chatbot is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can now adjust specific characteristics in ChatGPT, like warmth, enthusiasm, and emoji use.Now available in your &#8220;Personalization&#8221; settings. pic.twitter.com\/7WSkOQVTKU\u2014 OpenAI (@OpenAI) December 19, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Each option comes with a simple choice: more, less, or default. In other words, you can turn ChatGPT into a cheerful helper, a neutral assistant, or something closer to a very competent instruction manual.<\/p>\n<p>These new knobs join the \u201cBase style and tone\u201d controls introduced last month with GPT-5.1, which let users pick between Professional, Candid, or Quirky.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Together, they form what is essentially a personality mixing board for ChatGPT, because nothing says \u201ccutting-edge AI\u201d like arguing over how many exclamation points it should use.<\/p>\n<p>The move is also OpenAI doing a bit of damage control. Earlier this year, when GPT-5 rolled out to replace GPT-4o, users quickly noticed something was off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new model was smarter, sure, but also colder, less conversational, and more \u201ccorporate email reply\u201d than friendly assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Complaints rolled in, memes followed, and OpenAI responded by letting users switch models and promising to make GPT-5 feel warmer over time.<\/p>\n<p>GPT-5.2 is the latest step in that promise. Instead of guessing how friendly users want their AI, OpenAI is letting them decide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Want cozy and enthusiastic? Slide it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Want minimal emojis and straight answers? Dial it back.<\/p>\n<p>With AI getting more capable, people don\u2019t just want correct answers. They want answers that don\u2019t feel like they came from a passive-aggressive coworker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Users can now tweak how warm, enthusiastic, emoji-happy, or list-obsessed their chatbot is.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-container-style":"default","site-container-layout":"default","site-sidebar-layout":"default","disable-article-header":"default","disable-site-header":"default","disable-site-footer":"default","disable-content-area-spacing":"default","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,24,13],"tags":[3],"class_list":["post-259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ai-and-ml","category-chatgpt","category-news","tag-ai"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
