003. GPT Is Not a Tool. Itโ€™s a Thinking Partner

Most people treat GPT like a better Google.
You ask. It answers. Done.

But thatโ€™s not how I use it.
To me, GPT is a mirror.
A thought bouncer.
A collaborator.


๐Ÿง  It Thinks With Me, Not For Me

When I face a messy idea, I donโ€™t say:

โ€œWrite this for me.โ€

I say:

โ€œHereโ€™s my rough idea. Help me sort it out.โ€

And GPT responds โ€” not with perfection,
but with structure, flow, and momentum.

It helps me move forward,
but never skips the thinking.


๐Ÿ’ก Good Prompts Are Like Good Questions

GPT gives you better answers
when you ask better questions.

I donโ€™t prompt it like a machine.
I ask it like a peer.

  • โ€œWhat would a strategist say about this?โ€
  • โ€œSummarize this like youโ€™re teaching it to a 10-year-old.โ€
  • โ€œList 3 objections someone might have to this idea.โ€

Thatโ€™s not programming.
Thatโ€™s conversation.


โšก Use It to Stretch Your Thinking

Sometimes I write something I believe โ€”
then ask GPT to argue against it.

Sometimes I ask GPT to remix my idea using AIDA, PAS, or 5W1H.

Every time, it shows me a new angle.
I donโ€™t always agree.
But I always think deeper.


โœ… Final Thought

GPT is not here to replace your brain.
Itโ€™s here to sharpen it.

Stop prompting like a typist.
Start prompting like a thinker.
