Tangential, but you used to be able to use custom instructions for ChatGPT to respond only in zalgotext and it would have insane results in voice mode. Each voice was a different kind of insane. I was able to get some voices to curse or spit out Mint Mobile commercials.

Then they changed the architecture so voice mode bypasses custom instructions entirely, which was really unfortunate. I had to unsubscribe, because walking and talking was the killer feature and now it's like you're speaking to a Gen Z influencer or something.

If you're a coder then it sounds like you could use the API to get around that and once again utilize your custom prompt with their tech.

I do it sometimes (even just through the openai playground on platform.openai.com) because the experience is incredible, but it's expensive. One hour of chatting costs around 20-30$.

I think the subscriptions tend to be a significant discount over paying for tokens yourself

Did you record this? Sounds deranged enough to be amusing.

...voice mode bypasses custom instructions? But why? Without a custom prompt it's both unreliable and obnoxious.
