I read about an ai prompoting technike called "caveman mode" that tells the LLM to "talk" like a caveman (short but with still the precise meaning remaining). This saves tokens and produces output with near identical meaning. I dont like the "like a caveman" formulation. I think the trick is the leaving out of "fluff". Please do a thorough search of the internet if you can find other variants of this pattern that focus on results not on funny "caveman" vibes.
