The answer is too long and I cannot follow it. Help?
You will learn how to ask for a shorter, clearer answer.
A long answer can be hard to follow. You can ask for a shorter version.
Tell ChatGPT the length and style you want. Ask for plain words or numbered steps.
Read the new version and check that it still includes what you need. Shorter can also leave out useful detail.
Try this
- Tell ChatGPT the answer was too long.
- Ask it to use simple, short words.
- Ask for a list or numbered steps.
- Say how many sentences you want.
- Read the shorter version it gives.
A message you can copy
That was too long for me. Please explain [the topic] again in five short sentences, using simple words.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.

Try asking for one step at a time. Check important facts even in a short answer.
