RESOURCE Guide: Setting Up Your AI Debate Prompt
When you begin your debate with an AI tool, you need to give clear instructions, so the AI takes on the role of your opponent and stays in character. Think of this like setting the “rules of the game.”
Use each step listed below to create a one paragraph prompt that you will use to begin your debate with the AI tool. This prompt is crucial to defining the parameters of the debate’s purpose for the AI tool, so do not skip this step!
**Remember:** Do not hit
_Enter_ to send your prompt to the AI tool until you’ve written the entire paragraph! Type your prompt line by line, reviewing as you go, so the AI receives the full context before generating a response.
**Step 1:** Frame the Debate Role
· Tell the AI to argue the opposite side of your chosen topic.
Example:
·
·
· “You are my debate opponent. Your role is to argue the opposite position of my claim.”
**Step 2:** State Your Topic and Position Clearly
· Be specific about the stance you are taking so the AI knows how to respond.
Example:
·
·
· “My claim is that colleges should allow students to use AI tools like ChatGPT in their coursework. Your job is to argue against this position.”
**Step 3:** Set Expectations for the Debate
· Tell the AI how to respond.
Example:
·
·
· “Give me one strong counterargument at a time. I will respond, and then you will reply with another counterargument. Do not agree with me. Keep your answers short (3–5 sentences) so I can respond in real time.”
**Step 4:** Manage the Flow
· If the AI strays off track, re-prompt it.
Example:
·
·
· “Remember, your role is to disagree with me and challenge my position.”
Sample Compiled Debate Prompt:
“You are my debate opponent. I will argue that social media is more harmful than beneficial to society. Your role is to take the opposite position and argue that social media is more beneficial than harmful. Only respond with one counterargument at a time, in 3–5 sentences, so I can respond to you like a real debate.”
Use your constructed prompt to begin Week 9’s debate!
**Note**: Do not paste each line of the prompt into the tool as you write it. Create your debate prompt as one cohesive paragraph before pressing send. We don’t want this done in steps, but rather altogether with one single prompt delivered to the AI tool.

FEEDBACK FROM WEEK 7:
You have done some great work here! You seem to have three solid sources here. You summarize them clearly and discuss their purposes. However, you need to address their biases for each source. To help with this, try to first explain why the article is biased. Each source has some kind of bias – evaluate this and discuss it. For APA, your citations are excellent. You also chose some strong quotes and provide solid APA citations.
For the last part, we need more for the application of argument. Make sure to really explain how this information will be used to support your argument. You have a sentence but it is short and without explanation.
FEEDBACK FROM WEEK 8:
Really great work here. This idea regarding universal basic income is really interesting and I learned a lot from you here. Your background and information section is very clear and unbiased, as you build up to your argument regarding this.
Your argument points are great! But make sure to add citations for your direct quotes (last name, year, page number).
Solid conclusion!

FEEDBACK FROM WEEK 7:
You have done some great work here! You seem to have three solid sources here. You summarize them clearly and discuss their purposes. However, you need to address their biases for each source. To help with this, try to first explain why the article is biased. Each source has some kind of bias – evaluate this and discuss it. For APA, your citations are excellent. You also chose some strong quotes and provide solid APA citations.
For the last part, we need more for the application of argument. Make sure to really explain how this information will be used to support your argument. You have a sentence but it is short and without explanation.
FEEDBACK FROM WEEK 8:
Really great work here. This idea regarding universal basic income is really interesting and I learned a lot from you here. Your background and information section is very clear and unbiased, as you build up to your argument regarding this.
Your argument points are great! But make sure to add citations for your direct quotes (last name, year, page number).
Solid conclusion!
