ChatGPT can give long answers. That is fine, but sometimes you want less.

You can ask it to trim. Just say make it shorter or keep only the main points. It will cut the rest.

Nothing is lost. You can always ask for the long version back if you change your mind.

Try this
  1. Look at the long answer.
  2. Reply and ask it to make it shorter.
  3. If you want, say how short, like a few sentences.
  4. Read the trimmed answer.
A message you can copy

That was a bit long. Please cut it down to just the most important parts.

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.

You can ask for it in three short sentences if you want it really tight.
