This can easily be resolved with a more direct default prompt. But I actually prefer the verbosity of the standard system prompts. It allows for much better exploration and learning opportunities.

The problem is that the bot doesn't know what people tend to be confused by, so I don't think it's a matter of the prompt. The verbosity itself isn't even really the issue; the clarity is the issue.

I, too, use LLMs all the time to explore spaces. I just strive to help people explore particular spaces more efficiently than they can with LLMs.
