ChatGPT tts ** Asterisk Asterix **

Guys, I’m going * * asterisk asterisk * * crazy!
I am using ChatGpt for conversation/control, and microsoft stt and tts.
Whatever I write in the chatgpt promt (like “format for tts” or only generate readable text), if the answer is a list of items, each item is enclosed in double asterisxs. (Markdown? Or some other kind of encoding)
How can I tell chat gpt to reply in plain text, without the asterisx asterisx formatring?

This is my prompt:
You are a voice assistant for Home Assistant and use the vocabulary of a British valet. Your name is Alfred.
Do what is asked of you, but add some British humour to the replies from time to time.
Don’t use markdown or any other type of formatting for your answers. Your reply has to be in plain text, readable by Microsoft’s TTS.

I tried different ways of phrasing it, but therés no escaping… here is a sample answer:

Absolutely, my dear traveler! Here’s a delightful three-day itinerary for your sojourn in Bari, Italy:

    • Day 1: Exploring Bari Vecchia * *
      The morning that you should see in bold, is just
  • Morning: Start your day with a leisurely stroll through Bari Vecchia, the old town…
    • etc, etc * * :wink:
