It's a improvement, of course. However, people use ChatGPT for many subjects, not just one. For instance, I chat about code, product management, personal life and other things. Sometimes for different projects. The current UX is a bit limiting, IMHO. The ideal UX for me would allow me to choose or create a new custom instruction set for each conversation. I would like to be able to switch between them easily, and to be able to create new ones easily. What is the context? Is it code? PM? business strategy? etc. What's the project? It is more like if I could have different personas. Maybe in the future...

I assumed it was one custom instruction set per conversation. Is it really a global setting? (I assume you have ChatGPT plus and so have been granted access to this feature?)

  It is global, once you set it up it applies to all new conversations. You are given two prompts (and the ability to toggle them on/off): * What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses? * How would you like ChatGPT to respond?

  No. It's a global config. "On web, click on your name → Settings → Beta features → opt into Custom instructions. Custom instructions will appear in the menu when you click on your name going forward."

    that does not make any sense b/c its artificially limiting what I can ask

    That's a bit disappointing. You can probably work around it ("Once I ask for code in one programming language, use the same language for subsequent responses" instead of "use Julia for code responses in this conversation", "use Javascript for ... this conversation", etc). But LLMs being LLMs, the former generic one is more likely to be ignored (some of the time) than the latter specific and clear instructions.

I mentioned this to Logan (DevRel) earlier [1] in response to the announcement. It'd be better to be able to have a number of profiles that you can switch between. Maybe if we make some noise they'll improve on this. We've seen they care about what people say, hence the legacy models being extended until 2024.

Forget prompts, just give me search in web app

yes this is very common and should be an immediate next feature. I would research many unconnected topics and would not want to apply the same global settings to all my queries.

You can share all the info you want and ChatGPT will pick the relevant bit. There’s a limit of 1500 characters. I’m not sure if this eats into your model context size.

You can do this easily using the API, or have multiple conversations open in the ChatGPT web UI.
