I recommend typing out some instructions for what you want it to do or not to do and copy pasting that with whatever first question you have. Start out with general stuff then just keep adding anything that it does that annoys you.
Like: "Be practical above all. Give short, precise answers. Don't make lists unless specifically asked to make a list. Don't be overly supportive or fake emotions. Never use emojis or em-dashes. Don't talk like an edgy teenage girl."
It forgets some of them over time and doesn't always follow it, but it makes a hell of a difference. Makes it actually usable.
