By skyforbes Anyone else feel like ChatGPT always wants to over explain everything? I ask a simple troubleshooting question and it starts giving me a full Wikipedia article I did not ask for.
I just want short and direct answers with no filler, especially when dealing with coding, configs, or debugging. Even if I say “be brief” it still finds a way to add more fluff or repeat itself.
Is there a reliable way to make it learn to be more concise? Maybe a setting, a specific prompt style, or a system message that actually sticks? Any tips from people who have managed to tame the yapping and save tokens?
