In a low - key move, OpenAI has unveiled a fresh feature dubbed 'Formatted Blocks'. This innovative addition is designed to automatically modify the user interface (UI) layout of ChatGPT. Its main purpose is to tailor the interactive interface of ChatGPT to suit specific tasks, ultimately elevating the overall content - creation experience for users.

In the past, ChatGPT presented content in a rather consistent display format. In contrast, the newly launched 'Formatted Blocks' functions akin to a compact editor toolbar. When users highlight text within the new rich - text area, this feature automatically springs into action. It showcases the generated content as a formatted document that can be directly edited. This setup enables users to make immediate adjustments and refine the content on the spot.

At present, this feature is in the midst of a phased external testing process. OpenAI has high hopes for 'Formatted Blocks'. The company aims to ensure that the output of generative AI can be more in sync with real - world application scenarios through this feature. Moreover, OpenAI has plans to introduce support for a wider range of document formats in the near future.
