Hello all,
I’m in the process of putting together a series of texts for readers of certain ages. I put the content in, for example, Write a text that summarises the battle of hastings. Explain who the contenders were and why they felt that they had legitmate claims. Make it at least 700 words long. For this, it does a decent job with minimal tidying up.
I was then hoping that ChatGPT would semi-accurately make the text easier using either flesch-kincaid, flesch readability ease, gunning fog or SMOG formulas. However, it’s terrible at this. When I ask it to level/grade the text that it has created itself, its miles out from what word, or readability checkers suggest it is. Sometimes by around 5 years.
Sometimes it can’t accurately count the number of sentences in it’s own text. Sometimes it says the text it’s produced has a reading age of 10, when really its 19.
Does anyone have any tips, commands or prompts that might help making this process a little more reliable?
Thanks.
