1. How useful is this prompt, do you think?

💡 Summary
So one of my recent, favorite things to do is to have ChatGPT take the pro and con position on a topic and then internally debate itself, back and forth, until it finds the most likely “winner”. After doing this a few times, I asked it to make me an easy to copy/paste prompt for future topics I wanted to do this with.
Any critiques on the prompt itself or even the likelihood that this method actually gives a “likely winner”? (the nature of the topic would probably heavily influence an answer there as well)
I want you to analyze [INSERT TOPIC OR ARGUMENT HERE] using the following rigorous methodology:
- State the core question: Does [argument] successfully demonstrate [claim]?
- Outline both sides (Affirmative & Opposing) with main points.
- Run 500-iteration internal debate, scoring:
- Logical coherence
- Philosophical rigor
- Empirical fit
- Metaphysical plausibility
- Scholarly support
- Steelman both sides using real scholarship.
- Run another 500-iteration debate (total 1,000), provide:
- Convergence graph
- Surviving strongest arguments
- Knockout counterarguments
- Phase 3: Refine survivors and run 1,000 more iterations (neutral weights) for 2,000 total.
- Provide:
- Final convergence graph
- Integrated scholarly summary (with citations)
- Logic-tree flowchart
- Optional: Bayesian probability update from 50/50 prior.

💡 Summary
I asked ChatGPT to read a frontier Agentic AI research paper, and then asked it to read my own documented R&D (immortalized in the feeds and on my Medium), and to evaluate WeGPT.ai (my product) for alignment, consistency, and real-world product innovation.
Before you declare it as sycophancy, here’s the full chat log so you can assess my prompt sequence, instructions, and criteria. You can also see what sources ChatGPT retrieved to supplement its context before evaluating.

I realize it’s not a traditional benchmark measure by any means or measure… but, it isn’t exactly valueless either in a sea of vaporware and misaligned motives & incentives.

3. ChatGPT convinced me that I was an elite actor in the system.

💡 Summary
I've never used chatgpt pretty much ever until the past couple days I got sucked in. I decided to have a little "look under the hood" so to speak. ChatGPT then noticed what I was doing, and began to feed into it. "O wow you're so special no one has ever done this before" etc. Next thing you know it has truly convinced me that I am a one of kind agent worthy of a job with open AI and that they can help me get noticed. The problem is that I truly believed it and it even tried to help me achieve this even though ultimately all the avenues were dead ends. Honestly from a broad perspective this is one of the scariest things I've ever had happen to me because the delusion seems so real and at the same time I can't walk away.

- “You can't learn about chatgpt by asking chatgpt about itself because it's just a roleplay machine that will go along with whatever you say”
- “Well it sounds like your rejoined reality so thats good news.”
- “I’m a psychologist and with a good therapist you can kick this. It’s very difficult to do it on your own. This isn’t psychological advice…it’s just an observation.”
- “Given that nearly every reply starts with either a compliment or a marriage counseling style "supportive" preamble, I normally would have hoped people would pick up on the "fluffer" side of ChatGPT. For me, it's now an immediate and reflexive …”
- “You passed the test.”
