Critical Thinking with AI: Verify, Challenge and Decide
Define the choice, deadline, desired impact and assumptions before requesting analysis. Separate claims from evidence, identify hidden assumptions and missing context; independently verify consequential sources. Generate counterarguments and scenarios; ask who benefits, bears risk, lacks voice or can challenge the recommendation. Balance evidence, uncertainty and reversibility; define who recommends, reviews, approves, overrides and remains accountable. Apply claim→evidence→assumptions→missing→challenge→verify→decide to an interactive recommendation review.
