Why is my ChatGPT answer so long?
ChatGPT answers run long because you never capped length or format. Add a word limit and a shape. The model stops padding.
If you ask explain this, the model treats completeness as the job. Completeness looks like extra sections, caveats, and recap paragraphs.
The fix is a constraint: max 120 words, 5 bullets, no recap. Put that in the first message, not after the essay arrives.
Worked example. Before: summarize this article. After: Role: editor. Task: 80-word summary for a busy PM. Format: 4 bullets. Constraints: no intro sentence, no conclusion.
