I find this to be my current number 1 challenge when working on a terminal and seeking explanations for why a problem was approached in that way. the terminal only holds so many lines at once. Let's not talk about current scrolling in terminals.

It's interesting that the LLM will oblige my succinctness requests for one or two replies then back to 7 paragraph answers that I can't reply to point by point in a TUI.

I think this varies by expectation. If you use voice, their response will be shorter and more human. If you write, you will get a whole article in response. This lets you get to what matters to you faster, as long as you're able to skim documents.

If I write and want a short response I preface it with "be brief." Sadly it doesn't work 100% of the time
