Using Jargon or Complex Language Unnecessarily

Overly technical or complex language can confuse both the AI and the intended audience.

Why This Happens

• The AI may misunderstand jargon or produce answers that are too technical for your needs.
• Simple language is usually more effective unless technical detail is required.

Examples

• Jargon-heavy: "Elucidate the ramifications of anthropogenic climate perturbations."

• Better: "Explain how human activity affects the climate in simple terms."

• Jargon-heavy: "Describe the process of mitosis in exhaustive scientific detail."

• Better: "Briefly describe how cells divide during mitosis for a beginner."

How to Avoid

• Use clear, simple language unless technical detail is required.
• Match your language to your audience.
• Ask for explanations in plain English if needed.

Best Practices

• If you get a confusing answer, rephrase your prompt in simpler terms.
• Use examples to clarify your expectations.
