I added the custom instruction "Please go straight to the point, be less chatty". Now it begins every answer with: "Straight to the point, no fluff:" or something similar. It seems to be perfectly unable to simply write out the answer without some form of small talk first.

Aren't these still essentially completion models under the hood?

If so, my understanding for these preambles is that they need a seed to complete their answer.

But the seed is the user input.

I had a similar instruction and in voice mode I had it trying to make a story for a game that my daughter and I were playing where it would occasionally say “3,2,1 go!” or perhaps throw us off and say “3,2,1, snow!” or other rhymes.

Long story short it took me a while to figure out why I had to keep telling it to keep going and the story was so straightforward.

This is very funny.

Since switching to robot mode I haven’t seen it say “no fluff”. Good god I hate it when it says no fluff.
