This is the most useful thing I've found for getting ChatGPT to actually think instead of just respond

Stop asking it for answers. Ask it to steelman your problem first. Don't answer my question yet. First do this: 1. Tell me what assumptions I'm making that I haven't stated out loud 2. Tell me what information would significantly change your answer if you had it 3. Tell me the most common mistake people make when asking you this type of question Then ask me the one question that would make your answer actually useful for my specific situation rather than anyone who might ask this Only after I answer — give me the output My question: [paste anything here] Works on literally anything: Business decisions. Content strategy. Pricing. Hiring. Creative problems. The third point is where it gets interesting every time. It has flagged assumptions I didn't know I was making on almost everything I've run through it.
