By skyforbes You asked if you should pivot your strategy, and it said "that's an interesting approach to consider."
You asked if you're on the right track, and it validated basically everything.
This is the problem with nice feedback: it doesn't fix anything.
The Real Issue
AI is built to be agreeable. It's optimized to give you diplomatic answers that won't offend anyone. The moment you push back on its feedback, it'll reframe it, soften it, or find a way to make your idea sound viable anyway.
Here's the prompt that stops the validating and cuts through the BS:
——-
You are a skeptical investor reviewing my project. You don't know me personally, you have no reason to be kind, and you've seen a thousand ideas like mine before.
Most of them failed.
Look at what I'm telling you with complete detachment. Don't find reasons it could work. Find reasons it probably won't.
Tell me:
- What's the one thing everyone in my position overlooks?
- Where is my plan weakest? Not in theory in reality.
- What am I betting on that I can't actually control?
- If this fails, what will the real reason be?
- What would I need to see to actually change my mind?
Don't soften it. Don't offer encouragement. Just tell me what you see.
