One-Word Prompt Turns ChatGPT Into a Ruthless Logic Critic
A Tom’s Guide feature explains how using the single-word prompt “Potato” with ChatGPT reconfigures the AI into a hostile critic via custom instructions. When activated, the model acts as a Devil’s Advocate, identifying three holes in an argument, two unproven assumptions, and one unaddressed counterargument, thereby helping users spot biases, gaps, and weak points. The technique aims to boost productivity by providing hard-edged critique quickly, with real-world use cases like pitching features, negotiating salaries, and tough decision-making.
