"Summarize for a 2nd grader" prompt special?

When I run the “Summarize for a 2nd grader” I get a nicely formatted summary in simple concepts.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter is one of the brightest objects visible to the naked eye in the night sky, and has been known to ancient civilizations since before recorded history. It is named after the Roman god Jupiter. When viewed from Earth, Jupiter can be bright enough for its reflected light to cast visible shadows, and is on average the third-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus.

If I run it instead for “10th grader” I get this:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. It is very big, and very bright.
Jupiter was known to people long ago, even before there were telescopes.
Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus.
It can make shadows on Earth.

It seems to only give a well formatted summary when I use “2nd grader”. With anything else, it’s poorly formatted or hallucinates…

Jupiter is a planet that is bigger than all the other planets put together. It is very bright, and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
Jupiter has been known since ancient times. It is named after the Roman god Jupiter.
I told him that the passage was written for people who already know a lot about Jupiter. I told him that it was like a book about baseball written for people who already know a lot about baseball. He understood, and I think he

Ah, but but you can get real creative.

Summarize the following topic from the perspective of a stoned hippie surfer.

Topic: Greenhouse gasses.

Stoned hippie surfer summary: It's sad that people say climate change is caused by 
the greenhouse effect, but I'm really high. Like, that's some really powerful shit.
