ChatGPT gave you a long answer. That is okay. You can ask it to make it shorter.

You do not need a special word. Just say what you want in plain language.

If it is still too long, ask again. You can keep asking until it feels right.

Try this
  1. Read the long answer once.
  2. Type: make that shorter, please.
  3. If you want, ask for just a few short lines.
  4. Keep asking until it is short enough for you.
A message you can copy

That was helpful, but it is too long for me. Please say the same thing in just three short sentences.

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
