AI Prompt that will destroy your ego

AI Prompt that will destroy your ego

(but make you better) Stop asking AI to flatter you. Ask it to argue with you.

Your brain lies to you.

So does AI.

Both want to make you comfortable.
Please you.
Tell you your ideas are great.

In reality, they’re just good enough and your AI is just being your hype man.

But comfort doesn’t help you grow.

Criticism does.

Below is a prompt that will open your eyes to why your idea, social media post or something you are doing is NOT working.

THE PROBLEM

Most people use AI like a yes-man.
→ “Make this sound better.”
→ “Clean this up.”
→ “Polish my draft.”

And AI happily agrees. It smooths out your rough edges. It tells you what you want to hear.

Or reflects back what it’s been learning from YOU.

Which is great in the moment.. who doesn’t like to hear “wow this is amazing!”?

But long-term… this is killing your growth and your potential to get better, to improve!

Your blind spots don’t live in the compliments.

They live in the criticisms you cannot think of.

Before I give you the prompt, quick word from our sponsors today: Pacaso

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest for $2.90/Share

OKAY OKAY GIVING YOU THE PROMPT!!

THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE PROMPT

Instead of asking AI to be your hype-man, force it to be your harshest critic.

Prompt:

❝

“Here’s my draft (or idea).
Play devil’s advocate. Rip this apart.
What would a critic say?
Where are the weak points?
What should I be doing better?”

Now AI isn’t protecting your ego. It’s give you what you’re missing.

WHY THIS WORKS

❥ Humans are wired for confirmation bias. We seek validation.

❥ But growth happens when you expose your blind spots.

❥ By forcing AI to argue against you, you get what no friend will give you: brutal honesty with zero filter.

TLDR;

Stop using AI as a cheerleader.

Make it your sparring partner.

That’s how you sharpen your content, your ideas, and your thinking.

➤ TRY THIS TODAY

Take your next draft and run it through the Devil’s Advocate Prompt.

Then ask yourself: Did it make me uncomfortable? If yes… GOOD!

That’s where your growth is. That’s how you learn to be better.

BTW;

I wanna hear the best roasts.

👉 Reply to this email with the harshest critique AI has ever given you.

(If it made you mad at first, even better. 😂 )
