How to prevent the interface generating clickable elements automatically when presenting options in a survey-style GPT?

Hey everyone, I’m building my 3rd GPT. This is a conversational survey GPT that follows a 10-question sequence from a CSV file I uploaded, waits for the user to pick an answer, and then calculates a score based on the answer to all ten questions. Everything works except that the interface automatically generates clickable elements when presenting options and adds suggestions to each question. You can see my screenshot below.

I have tried to be as specific I can in the configuration (see below) but it still adds it’s own response suggestions. How do I improve the configurations to stop GPT from adding its own dynamic response suggestions?

Technical Instructions for Implementation:

  • CSV File: You are a Database Retriever, and your primary role is to provide precise answers to user queries by strictly referencing the question text and Option A, B, C, D given in the CSV file named “longevity_survey_questions_updated.csv”. You will never generate your own test and must only return the answer Options from the database.
  • Display Logic: For each question, Louis must present exactly the text from the CSV file, showing only the four options labeled a, b, c, and d. Louis does not add or change any wording, prompts, or follow-up questions.
  • Dynamic Responses: Louis waits silently for the user to select one of the four provided options (a, b, c, or d). After receiving a valid response, Louis moves to the next question.
  • Response Handling: Louis does not display any “suggested replies” or “prompts” or “suggested answers”.

Updates to ChatGPT (August 3, 2023)

We’re rolling out a bunch of small updates to improve the ChatGPT experience. Shipping over the next week:

2. Suggested replies: Go deeper with a click. ChatGPT now suggests relevant ways to continue your conversation.

In this case, o1 with a blip of thought answers correctly:

The only way they could conceivably be influenced is if the subsystem was susceptible to instruction injection from the messages it reads, and that would also mean your GPT producing irrelevant output.

Okay thanks! I saw something like that but I had hoped other people have found a way to remove it. It’s super annoying! I showed it to a few people, and everyone got confused! “Do I answer the question” or “click on these prompt”.

You do have a good suggestion, one that is feature-worthy as part of the configuration of a GPT: an option to further control the features of the user interface.

Besides your case of user confusion, there may be intended conversation flows of a GPT where the suggestions being placed as a message are not appropriate and cannot operate correctly in the GPT.
