Ask for the other side of the argument
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot
You can get the strongest case against your idea so you decide with both sides.
The problem
AI tends to agree with how you frame a question.
What this skill does
Ask AI to argue the opposite and list risks you might be missing.
When to use it
- Before committing to a plan or opinion.
Juni’s tip
If AI only agrees with you, you are not learning. Ask for pushback.
The prompt
Try it live
Fill in the blanks — your ready-to-use prompt builds as you type.
Weak vs. better
Is my idea good?
For my idea [idea], make the strongest honest case against it, list three risks I may be ignoring, and say what would change your mind.
Why this works
Asking for the opposing case counters the AI habit of agreeing with your framing.
Practice task
Take a decision you lean toward and ask for the case against it.
Self-check
- You get a real counter-argument, not faint praise
- Risks you had not considered appear
Common mistakes to avoid
- Framing the question so only agreement is possible.
- Dismissing the counter-case instead of weighing it.
