ChatGPT response:

Example 3: Get insights on text complexity
Prompt: I’d like to understand if people might have trouble with this paragraph. Let me know if there is anything unclear about it:

This approach necessitates the embracement of future-proof, resource-efficient methodologies and the cultivation of organic growth to achieve substantial market penetration and a competitive edge in the forthcoming quarters.”
