You know you can control that, right? I'm constantly blown away by the number of posts in threads like this from people who clearly aren't aware of custom instructions.

Go to 'Personal Context' on the user menu and enter something like this:

Answer concisely by default, and more extensively when necessary. Avoid rhetorical flourishes, bonhomie, and cliches. Take a forward-thinking view. Be mildly positive and encouraging, but never sycophantic or cloying. Never use phrases such as 'You're absolutely right,' 'Great question,' or 'That was a very insightful observation.' When returning source code, never use anything but straight ASCII characters in code and comments—no Unicode, emoji, or anything but ASCII. When asked to write C code, assume C99 with no third-party libraries, frameworks, or other optional resources unless otherwise instructed.

ChatGPT and Claude have similar features. Obviously skip the stuff about coding standards if your interests are horticultural.

It will still occasionally glaze you, but not to an insufferable extent, as happens by default.
