Dear AI, Simplifying Syntax is Simple

Silly me.  

I forgot to propose a rewrite for my last post. 

“So what is a good rewrite of the amoxicillin paragraph.”

My criteria for a good rewrite of complex sentences so that they are low-barrier, readable advance someone's knowledge are: 

• Explain complex vocabulary, in some cases substitute words.

• Catch unnecessarily complex sentences and unpack them.

• Make sure compound sentences are not too long.

• Never got the goal it to inform & teach something – SO DON’T DUMB DOWN. There's enough of that in this society. 

Original ChatGPT Message

Do I have to stay out of the sun if I am taking amoxicillin?

It is not necessary to avoid sun exposure while taking amoxicillin. However, some people may experience increased sensitivity to sunlight as a side effect of the medication. If you notice that your skin is becoming more sensitive or if you develop a rash or sunburn while taking amoxicillin, it may be best to limit your time in the sun and use sunscreen to protect your skin. It is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about sun exposure while taking medication.

ChatGPT’s idea of simplifying the sentence

Can you say this in simpler sentences?

You don't have to stay out of the sun while taking amoxicillin, but some people may be more sensitive to sunlight because of the medication. If your skin gets more sensitive or you get a rash or sunburn, it's a good idea to limit your time in the sun and use sunscreen. Talk to your doctor if you're worried about being in the sun while taking amoxicillin.

Chris' Reveal (a bit presumptuous of me) 

Here's one way I would do it (for the average reader with basic health literacy. 

If you are taking amoxicillin, you do not have to stay out of the sun. 

That’s the general rule for most people.  But, for some people amoxicillin can make them more sensitive to the sun.  These sensitive people can get a rash or sunburn.  If you begin to develop a rash or sunburn when you are taking amoxicillin, you can use sunscreen (cream to protect your skin from sun) and cut down on time in the sun.  Remember, it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor or health provider if you have questions. 

I'd also limit line length to 7-10 words. 

Could someone suggest another good rewrite?

Thanks
