How do I ask ChatGPT to use bigger, simpler words?
Use plain words and make the text easier to see.
Simpler words and larger letters solve different problems. Ask ChatGPT for plain language.
To make letters larger, use your browser or device's text-size controls. A prompt does not reliably change the app's font.
Try this
- Ask for short sentences with plain words.
- Name any term you want explained.
- Read the new reply and check that it kept the meaning.
- For larger letters, look for text size or zoom in your browser or device settings.
- In the Mac desktop app, Command and plus increases the font size.
A message you can copy
Use plain words and short sentences for an adult who is new to [topic]. Explain any new term. Keep the key facts.
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.
