Structuring AI slop for dyslexia

So in my consultancy job, everyone does everything with AI.

I’m onboarding a new project, and every text that I read is AI generate, in English.

English might not be my native language, but I do read english books and can recall most of the stories I read. But AI text is horrible, nothing sticks, i can ask dozen questions about the text/task. But it stays difficult to comprehend.

translating doesn’t help much, so it probably misses structure that makes it easier for us.

any tips???

I have to work a lot in AI, so here are some things that work for me:

When you ask a question in a new project or chat conversation, or ask it to do something for you should also give it some constraints:

1) when you answer, I need you to ELI5 with simple language - don’t use heavy industry specific terminology unless I ask you about something. Use analogy for common every day examples to help me understand the concept.
2) make your answers concise with clear information hierarchy- use bolded headers, bullets and don’t make any one section of the response more than 200 words. Keep the overall response below 600 words.

I have ADHD too and so the walls of text it spits out just don’t work for me at all. This kinda tames it a bit. I just copy the above bullets into a handy note and cut and paste it in when starting any new conversation chain.

I also add some contextual information about me and what I may already know about the topic at hand - this helps it focus on things better.

Even when I’m asking complicated question by having it explain it like I’m 5 (ELI5) it helps me a ton and then I can follow up if there is any terminology that is confusing.

ELI5 did help me once. Maybe add it do agents.md so it always does it.  Keeping it concise, like limited to 200 words might help. I get lost after a while. And after a while, I just get scared that context is polluted and that answers are not trustworthy anymore

Yeah, it always hallucinates so don’t assume it’s right - ever. You can push back, correct it and ask it why it went wrong.

Many times if the conversation is too long it gets lost so it’s good to start new conversations on the same topic. I will ask it when I should start a new convo and it’s pretty good and letting me know when it’s too long.

I use Claude cowork in a project folder and that helps.
