Yes, it sounds like an awkwardly perky and over-chatty telemarketer that really wants to be your friend. I find the tone maximally annoying and think most users will find it both stupid and creepy. Based on user preferences, I expect future interactive chat AIs will default to an engagement mode that's optimized for accuracy and is both time-efficient and cognitively efficient for the user.

I suspect this AI <-> Human engagement style will evolve over time to become quite unlike human to human engagement, probably mixing speech with short tones for standard responses like "understood", "will do", "standing by" or "need more input". In the future these old-time demo videos where an AI is forced to do a creepy caricature of an awkward, inauthentic human will be embarrassingly retro-cringe. "Okay, let's do it!"

chatGPT desperately needs a "get to the fucking point" mode.

Yeah, I would hope that custom instructions would help somewhat with that, but it is a point of annoyance for me too.
