You do not need fancy words. You do not need to sound like an expert.

ChatGPT understands everyday talk. Write the way you would speak to a friend.

Try this
  1. Think about what you really want to know.
  2. Type it the way you would say it out loud.
  3. If you get stuck on a word, just describe the thing.
