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.
Simple, clear language helps the AI and your audience understand your request.
