Saying "convince Me Otherwise" After Chatgpt Gives An Answer Makes It Find Holes In Its Own Logic

was getting confident answers that felt off

started adding: "convince me otherwise"

chatgpt immediately switches sides and pokes holes in what it just said

example:

me: "should i use redis for this?" chatgpt: "yes, redis is perfect for caching because..."

me: "convince me otherwise" chatgpt: "actually, redis might be overkill here. your data is small enough for in-memory cache, adding redis means another service to maintain, and you'd need to handle cache invalidation which adds complexity..."

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I NEEDED TO KNOW

it went from salesman mode to critic mode in one sentence

works insanely well for:

tech decisions (shows the downsides)
business ideas (finds the weak points)
code approaches (explains what could go wrong)

basically forces the AI to steelman the opposite position

sometimes the second answer is way more useful than the first

best part: you get both perspectives without asking twice

ask question → get answer → "convince me otherwise" → get the reality check

its like having someone play devil's advocate automatically

changed how i use chatgpt completely

try it next time you need to make a decision
