Most people treat ChatGPT like a search engine. That’s why they get generic answers. Here’s how to flip that and make it think with you — not for you.
I’ve noticed something weird.
Most people use ChatGPT like they’re ordering at a drive-thru.
“Give me ten ideas.”
“Write me a business plan.”
“Make it sound professional.”
Then they wonder why it sounds boring, generic, or straight-up robotic.
Here’s the truth: ChatGPT mirrors your thinking.
If you sound shallow, it gives you shallow.
If you sound curious, it becomes curious.
So here’s the one prompt that changed how I use it — and turned it from a typing machine into a business partner:
“Let’s think together. I don’t need perfect answers I want perspective, tension, and ideas I wouldn’t have thought of alone. Don’t agree with everything I say. Challenge me.”
That’s it.
No fancy formatting. No secret system. Just a tone shift.
You stop talking to the AI, and start talking with it.
