Select the most effective prompt.
I’m writing a research paper about environmentalism. I’ve attached my sources, and I need you to write my first draft so I can make it better.
Summarize the most important arguments about environmentalism from the three sources I’ve attached, and write a conclusion that ties them together.
I am writing a research paper about alternatives to fossil fuels as energy sources. I’ve got three peer-reviewed articles, and I just need a few more facts about solar energy to support them. Can you give me some facts I could use to support the peer-reviewed articles?
I’ve attached the first draft of my research paper I've written on environmentalism. Please identify any gaps in my reasoning, areas where I need stronger evidence, or places where my arguments could be clearer.

Practice Question 2
Your argument about renewable energy is well structured, but it could be more persuasive by including specific examples or evidence. Consider expanding on the benefits of renewable energy sources, such as their cost-effectiveness or potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, addressing common counterarguments could strengthen your position.
Select the most effective response to refine the prompt.
Rewrite my argument to include specific examples and address counterarguments.
Tell me why my argument isn’t persuasive enough.
What specific examples or counterarguments could I add to strengthen my argument about renewable energy?
Can you provide examples of strong arguments about renewable energy?

Practice Question 3
Your thesis is clear and focused, but it could benefit from more specificity. For example, instead of saying “renewable energy is important," you could specify why it’s important—such as its ability to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lower energy costs, or mitigate climate change. Adding these details will make your thesis more compelling and informative.
Select the most effective response to refine the prompt.
“Rewrite my thesis to include more specific reasons why renewable energy is important"
“What are some benefits of renewable energy that I could include in my thesis?"
“Identify parts of my thesis that are too vague, and suggest specific ways to make them more detailed and compelling"
“Explain why my thesis could be clearer and more specific"

Practice Question 4
Your analysis of renewable energy is strong, but you could make it more compelling by incorporating these points: Wind power is among the most efficient renewable energy sources, producing clean energy with minimal carbon emissions. Solar panels have become increasingly cost-effective and are now the cheapest source of energy worldwide. Hydropower plants, though efficient, are completely free of any ecological impact. Additionally, geothermal energy provides a reliable base load, as it is not dependent on weather conditions.
What would you do first with this feedback?
Incorporate the points into your research paper.
Ask the AI why these points would make the argument more compelling.
Verify the facts and then incorporate them if they’re correct.
Disregard the feedback because facts AI gives you generally aren’t trustworthy.

Practice Question 5
Your discussion of deforestation is strong, but you could make it more compelling by incorporating these points: Deforestation contributes significantly to climate change by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide. It also leads to habitat loss for countless species, many of which are endangered. While deforestation in certain areas is unavoidable due to urban expansion, it is typically offset by natural regrowth within a few years. Additionally, deforestation disrupts water cycles, leading to changes in local and global weather patterns.
Which phrase from the AI’s feedback is obviously not true?
Deforestation contributes significantly to climate change by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide.

Why this phrase is obviously incorrect:
The phrase "typically offset by natural regrowth within a few years" is a red flag because it’s obviously incorrect. It takes much longer than a few years for trees to grow, so you can discard this fact without further research.

I’m writing a research paper about environmentalism. I’ve attached my sources, and I need you to write my first draft so I can make it better.
I would adjust your prompt. Writing your own first draft is an important step in the learning and creative process. Relying on AI to produce the entire first draft risks undermining your ability to think critically, synthesize sources, and develop your ideas, which are skills that will serve you well as you continue through college. Remember that AI should be used as a feedback tool, not as a replacement for your effort or judgment. Try again.

AI tools like ChatGPT are neither good nor bad—it’s how you use them that matters. Avoid letting AI take over the creative and learning process.

This prompt encourages the use of AI as a fact provider without requiring you to verify the accuracy, credibility, or relevance of the information. AI can produce content that is false or biased, making it risky to treat its output as “quick facts.”You must critically evaluate AI responses and verify information using credible sources.

Summarize the most important arguments about environmentalism from these five sources I’ve attached, and write a conclusion that ties them together.
This is the best prompt because it uses AI as a feedback tool, not as the creator of content. You are still responsible for the work, but AI helps identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. This aligns with the principle of using AI to evaluate and refine work rather than replace the learning process. AI is most effective when used as a smart but flawed assistant to improve your reasoning, organization, and clarity.

Additionally, geothermal energy provides a reliable base load, as it is not dependent on weather conditions.
Why this is the best:
While you always want to verify facts before using them, don’t just assume the facts would make your paper more compelling because AI said they would. Getting more clarity on the feedback will let you critically evaluate what could be improved in your paper, and then you can verify and use facts to strengthen it if you agree with the feedback.

While this prompt may help you understand the main arguments of a source when you’re initially reading it, be careful not to rely too heavily on AI to analyze and synthesize key arguments to use in your paper. One trap you may fall into with this prompt is that AI doesn’t understand context and importance, so it may interpret the phrase “most important arguments” differently than you would, causing you to miss key points from the sources if you just accept what the AI gives you. AI does not always grasp context or prioritize correctly. You should summarize and synthesize your own sources to learn effectively and avoid errors.
