AI isn't replacing writers — it's becoming the best brainstorming partner. Here are prompts that genuinely help.
Brainstorming
'Give me 10 angle variations for an article about [topic] that haven't been done to death.' 'What questions would a skeptic ask about [topic]?' 'List the top 5 counterarguments to [my thesis].'
Editing
'Identify the weakest paragraph in this text and explain why: [paste].' 'Rewrite this sentence to be more concise: [paste].' 'Check this text for logical fallacies: [paste].'
Research
'Summarize the main arguments for and against [topic] with their strongest evidence.' 'What data or studies would strengthen the argument that [thesis]?' 'Explain [complex topic] in terms a 12-year-old would understand.'
What AI Can't Do for You
Original opinions. Personal anecdotes. Voice and style. Expert judgment. Don't outsource thinking — outsource the tedious parts.
