The big idea
Essays that consider the other side are stronger. AI is great at generating counter-arguments — even smart ones — so you can address them in your work.
Some examples
- 'I argue [X]. What is the strongest counter-argument someone could make?'
- 'List 3 reasons someone might disagree with my position.'
- 'Pretend you disagree with me and give me your best argument.'
- 'What facts would change my mind on this position?'
