Feature request: Ability to fully customize the system role about chatpad

[Supernova3339]

Hi, when you play a different prompt this will change the AI's role.

I'm referring to this system prompt, I would like for the option to customize this instead

chatpad/src/components/Prompts.tsx

Line 109 in 37330d6

"You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI.",

The reason being it allows you to give instructions for the session without also retrieving a response to those instructions (as is the case currently).

that is the preloaded prompt, you can change the scenario by adding your own and hitting the "play" button

Is that how it's intended to work? Because when I hit the play button on a prompt this is what gets sent to OpenAI when I inpsect the browser request:

The thing I would like to achieve when I press the play button is, instead of two messages being sent (a system role message with the generic prompt, plus a user role message with my custom prompt), I would like just one message to be sent (a system role message with my custom prompt).

Actually maybe the behavior I'm looking for when I press the play button is to, instead of immediately sending two messages to the API (the generic system role and my prompt as the user role), just open a new chat session without making any API requests yet, then on the first message I send it should send two messages--my custom prompt as the system role and my first chat message as the user role. That way my prompt is given as the pretext for the conversation but the first response from the API will be to what I opened the chat with.

Basically I expected the prompt to set up the chat sessions without having ChatGPT actually respond to the prompt every time. But maybe that wasn't the intent for the "prompt" feature to begin with?

Based on this OpenAI community discussion it sounds like it also might matter whether the system message is sent as the first or last one in the array.

I've opened #24 with some changes that implement what I'm describing here.

That's what you meant. This is currently not implemented but a PR is welcome!
