“How do computers work? KIS”

“Explain this recipe, KIS.”

Origin:

ChatGPT says:

Why KIS is different — and better in some ways:
TL;DR usually follows a long explanation; KIS can guide the response before it happens.

ELI5 asks for clarity but assumes a lack of knowledge; KIS just asks for simplicity—without assuming anything about the asker.

KIS is gentle, universal, and proactive. You’re asking for clarity and brevity without being blunt or ironic.
