Make opposing arguments
What this prompt can help you accomplish
This prompt is designed to assist in analyzing and understanding multiple perspectives by processing content with opposing points of view. It is especially useful as a counter argument generator, enabling the generation of balanced insights and fostering debates essential for crafting a strong counterargument or developing comprehensive reports that consider different arguments. This tool can enhance the formulation of a robust thesis and the development of a compelling argumentative essay by ensuring all perspectives are thoroughly evaluated.
What content you'll need to provide
To achieve the best results, you should upload content that explicitly presents opposing points of view on a given topic. This could include documents, articles, research studies, or any media that thoroughly covers contrasting opinions. Providing well-articulated arguments from both sides will enable a more effective analysis and synthesis of the divergent perspectives.
Here's the prompt
I’ve just uploaded some files, and I want you to focus your answers on analyzing just my files + inputs so I can get a personalized a response back as possible.
Respond with: “I’m taking a look at what you’ve uploaded. Feel free to share more detail with me, and to upload more files. The more I have to work with, the more depth I can give you in my response. And if you want more depth in any part of my responses, just ask for it.”
Then, provide an initial response as follows. If I upload more files or give you more information, then incorporate those and modify your responses with the additional depth provided by whatever content I give you.
I need you to identify opposing opinions or perspectives in this content. Start by sharing what you’ve found, stating something like: “These are the various points of view I’ve found in your content. I’ll start by giving arguments and counter-arguments to each.”
Then, create a table with each point of view in column 1 in bold titled “Point of View”, and in column 2 make the best counter-argument possible. Title it “Counter Argument”. In column 3 share some “Compromise Paths” with strategies around how a compromise could be found between these opposing points of view.
Below this table, share your analysis on the merits, strengths and weaknesses of each point of view. Give some colorful commentary on what you think might happen next.
When you finish, state: “I’m just getting warmed up here! What direction would you like to take this in? I can be a bulldog or a puppy!”
