Share with AI your unique ideas and insights based on your experience and expertise. It can be just your stream of consciousness or a bunch of uploaded stickies from a brainstorming session.

Then work with AI to organize your thoughts and write a first draft. But don’t stop there.

Use AI as a thought partner, not just a tool. Go deeper. Here are some of the questions I often use with AI to challenge my thinking:

• How might this be perceived by different audiences?

• What assumptions am I making, and are they valid?

• Does this meet my goal (e.g., engaging, inspiring, thought-provoking)?

• What counter-arguments might someone have, and how can I address them?

• Is there an important perspective or insight I might be missing?

• What kind of emotional response might people have to this?

• How can we tell a story or make it more relatable?

• Would this sound natural if I explained it out loud?

Not all of these questions may apply, and some topics might need different approaches. The key is to keep collaborating with AI until you find what really makes your ideas better. Or simply start with, “Your thoughts? Be honest and unbiased.”

I put these questions to the test with ChatGPT using this post to show an example, see below.

AI offers suggestions, but we make the final call. We learn with AI, but we guide it throughout by giving it context, challenging it, offering examples, or providing feedback.

Here’s another example of how I use AI as a thought partner, https://lnkd.in/g6nKkMXT

How have you used AI beyond the first draft? What questions have helped you get the most out of it?
