If you’re using ChatGPT-5, you may have experienced its repetitive follow-up questions like, “Want me to…?” While initially helpful, this can disrupt your workflow. You can customize ChatGPT by navigating to “Settings” and adjusting its traits to eliminate such prompts. Simply add: “You should never end a response by asking a question.”
Additionally, enhance your experience with these five prompt tweaks:
- Challenge Assumptions: Request critical perspectives by saying, “Challenge my assumptions.”
- Frame as Missions: Specify tasks clearly, e.g., “Your mission is to plan a creative date night under $50.”
- Concise Responses: Instruct, “Be direct and skip any follow-up questions.”
- Reverse Engineering: Guide the structure with, “Here’s the kind of answer I want: [insert example].”
- Simplified Explanations: Use, “Explain this like I’m five — and don’t ask if I want more detail.”
These adjustments help maximize ChatGPT’s utility for writing, coding, or experimentation.
