   ChatGPT Maxxing: Prompting Tips, Custom Instructions, Voice Mode, and More

   After an unexpectedly long summer hiatus, Median User is back with a dive into getting the most out of ChatGPT, covering essential features, advanced prompts, and productivity hacks. We walk through how model selection has become nearly automatic with GPT-5, discuss what “reasoning” really means, and share real-world prompting habits: negative prompts, research-first priming, and a clever “expert insights primer” trick. We also unpack less-known features like Custom Instructions, Memory, Voice Mode, Projects, and Docs, sharing how these matter more than switching between the latest models. The conversation ends on philosophical notes about reliance, kids and AI, and how prompts might become the new apps. Whether you're a daily user or just getting started, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to elevate your ChatGPT experience.
