Bibtex from zotero different from the one in google

I tried to export Bibtex from zotero and paste it into overleaf ref.bib as reference. However, I found that the one exported from zotero are always of noisy format, but the one from google scholar is clean and nice. Wondering whether the behaviour is expected and whether we could get google-scholar like bibtex format from zotero.

An example would be : for the same paper Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback.

On google scholar, it's pretty clean as
@article{ouyang2022training,
title={Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback},
author={Ouyang, Long and Wu, Jeffrey and Jiang, Xu and Almeida, Diogo and Wainwright, Carroll and Mishkin, Pamela and Zhang, Chong and Agarwal, Sandhini and Slama, Katarina and Ray, Alex and others},
journal={Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems},
volume={35},
pages={27730--27744},
year={2022}
}

however, after import the paper into zotero, what I get is
@article{Ouyang_Wu_Jiang_Almeida_Wainwright_Mishkin_Zhang_Agarwal_Slama_Ray_et al._2022, title={Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback}, volume={35}, url={https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2022/hash/b1efde53be364a73914f58805a001731-Abstract-Conference.html}, journal={Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems}, author={Ouyang, Long and Wu, Jeffrey and Jiang, Xu and Almeida, Diogo and Wainwright, Carroll and Mishkin, Pamela and Zhang, Chong and Agarwal, Sandhini and Slama, Katarina and Ray, Alex and Schulman, John and Hilton, Jacob and Kelton, Fraser and Miller, Luke and Simens, Maddie and Askell, Amanda and Welinder, Peter and Christiano, Paul F. and Leike, Jan and Lowe, Ryan}, year={2022}, month={Dec}, pages={27730–27744}, language={en} }

    I don't know what you mean by "noisy". Zotero will export all the data it has available for an item, and generally it has more data than Google Scholar has.

    If you want custom citation keys or other customization, use the Better BibTeX plugin.
