> Avoid wrapping the whole response in backticks.

I have often been asking Chat GPT to output things in backticks to avoid formatting of Latex that I want to copy into Markdown.

I appreciate this prompt is for Copilot, not Chat GPT, but it does highlight the curious situation where we want to overwrite the system prompt in a legitimate way.

The next evolution of a product like Chat GPT or Copilot should allow the user some ways to customize the system prompt in legitimate ways.

In this case a simple toggle that changed the system prompt makes more sense that the user prompt contradicting the system prompt.

The other toggle I wish I had was to stop Chat GPT writing a summary at the end of a message.
