OpenAI has taken a significant step in enhancing user experience by addressing a common concern regarding punctuation in ChatGPT outputs. The recent update allows users to customize their punctuation preferences, particularly focusing on the overuse of em dashes, which has been a point of feedback from the community. The material points to an encouraging trend: this change is expected to improve the overall quality of interactions for users.
OpenAI's Commitment to AI Writing Enhancement
In a statement made by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in November 2025, the company emphasized its dedication to refining the AI's writing capabilities. This update not only responds to user feedback but also empowers users to tailor their writing style according to their preferences.
New Custom Instructions Feature
With the new feature, users can now access custom instructions within their ChatGPT settings, enabling them to specify how they want punctuation to be handled. This change is expected to lead to more authentic and personalized content, enhancing the overall interaction between users and the AI.
