Sometimes an answer is hard to follow. That is not your fault.

You can just ask ChatGPT to make it simpler. It will gladly say it again in plain words.

There is no limit. You can ask it to simplify as many times as you like.

Try this
  1. Stay in the same chat with the answer you found hard.
  2. Type a short request to make it simpler.
  3. Try 'explain like I am new to this.'
  4. Read the easier answer. Ask again if you need to.
