Prompt Tip of the Day
Instead of asking for a simple explanation, try: "Explain [topic] so my mom would understand it." The AI will drop its technical language and provide surprisingly clear explanations.
Pro tip: Be specific about your mom! "Explain this to my mom who's a gardener but has never used ChatGPT" gets much better results than just saying "explain simply."
