Because you work in firmware (so presumably you appreciate measurement, risk, durability) you might be more critical of the “wear sooner than ideal” signals and want a tire with more robustness.
I often get annoyed with ChatGPT yammering on and on, so I repeatedly told it to cut to the chase and speak more succinctly.
Now it just says "I'll get right to the point..." and then still yammers on and on unabated.
Instead, telling them to do the opposite works. "Brevity is appreaciated", or "Preserve Tokens and be concise."
I’m not sure about voice chat, though - it’s equally frustrating for me. Often, it’s excessively verbose, repeating my question with unnecessary commentary that doesn’t contribute to the answer. I haven’t tried the personality tweaks they recently introduced in the settings - I wonder if those also affect voice chat, because that could be a potential solution.
