DAE try asking the AI to explain its answer to a 10 year old? It cut my prompt fiddling way down
I was messing with a summarizer tool for my fantasy football league's 40 page rulebook and kept getting these walls of text that read like a legal brief. I tried every trick I knew, shorter prompts, bullet lists, all of it, and nothing worked. Then on a whim I tacked "explain it like I'm 10" onto the end and the thing spat out three clean sentences that actually made sense. My buddy Dave in Boise didn't believe me so we ran the same doc through it side by side and his version needed nine edits, mine needed zero. I'm not saying it works for everything but for dense junk it's been weirdly solid. Now I do a quick check: if the output sounds like a robot lawyer, I just ask for the kid version and go from there. Curious if anyone has a different magic phrase that gets short answers out of these things, because I'd love to stop guessing.

Saw a study on that "explain like I'm 5" trick, it really works.
