ChatGPTis a simple, straightforward application. It’s an empty box to type into, and not much more.
But according toAI enthusiast Rowan Cheung, someChatGPT Plususers have reported that a new feature is being tested and will be rolled out that will add some ways of narrowing down your prompts to get a response that’s a bit more targeted.

In the video posted by Cheung, you may see a drop-down menu with simple actions as ways of tweaking the results provided. You can clarify, exemplify, expand, explain, rewrite, or shorten. It’s not hard to see how this kind of a menu would allow you to pinpoint the exact kind of result you’re aiming for.
These kinds of tools are features we’ve seen Microsoft experiment with on itsBing Chattool, which is also built on OpenAI’s large language models. you may select from different tones, formats, and lengths — as well as choose between its Chat, Compose, and Insights panels. Even beyond those options, Bing Chat gives you the broader choice of Creative, Balanced, and Precise modes, which make them easier tools for a beginner to use. Microsoft has a similar way of tweaking responses built into itsBing Image Creatorand otherMicrosoft Office Copilotimplementations.
However, these types of menus and options can also start to feel like they limit the creativity of the user. Being able to ask the AI to do anything is what makes it quite so powerful.
There’s been no indication so far if the new drop-down menus are going to be a permanent feature of ChatGPT Plus — or if it’s just something OpenAI is currently testing.
