Lately I have more appreciation for broken English and short, to the point sentences than the 20 paragraph AI bullet point lists with 'proper' formatting.

Maybe someone will build an AI model that's succinct and to the point someday. Then I might appreciate the use a little more.

This. AI translations are so accessible now that if you’re going to submit machine-translations, you may as well just write in your native language and let the reader machine translate. That’s at least accurately representing the amount of effort you put in.

I will also take a janky script for a game hand-translated by an ESL indie dev over the ChatGPT House Style 99 times out of 100 if the result is even mostly comprehensible.

You can ask ai to be succinct and it will be. If you need to you can give examples of how it should respond. It works amazingly well.

I've tried giving instructions to be concise, to only give high level answers, to not include breakdowns or examples or step-by-step instructions unless explicitly requested, and yet "What are my options for running a function whenever a variable changes in C#?" invariably results in a bloated list with examples and step-by-step instructions. The only thing that changed in all of my experimentation with various saved instruction was that sometimes it prepended its bloated examples with "here's a short, concise example:".
