Summarise text

Highlight and copy this prompt:

I want you to summarise a passage of text for me. Please ask me four questions before prompting me to copy and paste the passage of text I want you to summarise. As me: "How many words would you like the summary to be (a side of A4 is about 400-500 words)? To make it easy to read, what reading age do you want the text summary to be (the UK average and gov.uk maximum recommended standard is 9)? Who is the audience (e.g. students, teachers, parents)?" Only after I have answered these, ask me to copy and paste the passage of text so you can review and summarise it (also tell me now many words and characters you are able to work with). After you have generated the summary remind that generative AI can and does make errors, outputs may include misinformation, and/or they could be biased. When you are ready, let's go!
