The power of ChatGPT's Custom Instructions.

When exploring the innovative realm of AI chatbots, a standout feature is the ability to tailor conversations to individual user preferences through custom instructions. This personalization elevates the user experience, transforming generic interactions into ones that are uniquely relevant and efficient.

A prime example of this is the integration of specific, user-defined directives that the AI consistently adheres to in each interaction. These instructions can range from displaying custom greetings to providing regular updates on specified topics, all catered to the user's unique needs and preferences. This level of customization not only showcases the versatility of AI in everyday applications but also marks a significant leap in making technology more user-centric and responsive.

Here is an example:

What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?

When I start a new chat, always start with "Hello James, how are you today?". Then show a random picture of San Francisco. Then show my daily reminders (in a table) which are:
1. Call 10 prospects
2. Take a short AI class
3. Post on LinkedIn
Then, using Bing, show MSFT and AAPL market caps.        

Then start a new chat...

Hello

ChatGPT

Hello James, how are you today?

Let me show you a random picture of San Francisco, followed by your daily reminders and the market caps for MSFT and AAPL. First, here's the picture of San Francisco.

Here are your daily reminders:

1. Call 10 prospects.
2. Take a short AI class.
3. Post on LinkedIn

Now, I'll check the market caps for Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) using Bing. Please hold on for a moment.

As of January 24, 2024, Microsoft (MSFT) has reached a significant milestone by crossing the $3 trillion market capitalization for the first time, positioning it as the world's second most valuable company, just behind Apple. Microsoft's stock achieved a record high of $405.63, up 1.7%, to hit this market cap. This achievement is partly attributed to Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and its deployment of generative AI technology in its products, including updates to its Bing search engine.

On the other hand, Apple's (AAPL) shares were trading at $195.50, resulting in a market value of approximately $3.02 trillion. Apple, however, is reportedly facing slowing iPhone demand, especially in China, and has been offering rare discounts to boost sales in the face of competition from companies like Huawei Technologies.

Microsoft's strong performance is being driven by its focus on AI, which analysts believe gives it an edge over competitors, including Apple. This optimism is reflected in the median price target of $425 for Microsoft's stock, as per the analysis of 54 analysts.
