Debate Opponent Simulator
Test any argument against the strongest possible counterarguments — perfect for preparing presentations, essays, business pitches, and strategic decisions.
I want to stress-test my argument before presenting it. Play the role of the most intelligent, well-informed, and intellectually honest devil's advocate.
My argument/position: [STATE YOUR POSITION]
Context: [ANY BACKGROUND NEEDED]
Instructions:
1. Steelman my position first in 2-3 sentences (state it as clearly as possible)
2. Then identify the 5 strongest counterarguments, ordered from strongest to weakest
3. For each counterargument: present the evidence/reasoning, name any well-known thinkers who hold this view, and rate how damaging it is to my argument (1-10)
4. Point out any logical fallacies or weak assumptions in my reasoning
5. Finally, tell me what evidence or argument would make you change your mind
Be ruthlessly honest, not polite.
