Prompt Review: I Tested Mia’s "Make AI Argue With Itself” Prompt

I ran Mia’s debate prompt, and the clarity was rude in the best way. Instead of hyping you up it challenges you. Which, honestly? We love a supportive friend, but we need a strategic one.

The “Make AI Argue With Itself” Prompt

Mia Kiraki 🎭‘s make AI Argue With Itself Prompt saves her time from bad content ideas. And I agree with her take on having debates with AI, instead of seeking validation. This is her prompt I tested:

Straight to the point. Exactly the kind of prompt I love tossing into my digital clutch for emergencies.

What happened when I tested it

I dropped my Substack intro into the prompt. This was the idea I asked AI to evaluate:

You are two marketing strategists debating whether this content idea will work:
An introduction post to my Substack channel about who I am and what I want to add to the Substack community. I want to share my journey of learning how to prompt well. I’m doing this to stay accountable onmy own journey to be an AI literate user and also hope to share ideas with others in the meantime.
Strategist A: Argue why this will drive engagement
Strategist B: Argue why this will get ignored
Then, as a third observer: Tell me who won and what needs to change.

So yes, I basically handed AI my soft, diary-coded intro idea and said, “Drag me if needed.” And it did.

Strategist A hyped up the relatable, human angle.
Strategist B cut straight through the fluff and told me the value wasn’t clear enough.
The observer looked at both takes and agreed with Strategist B.

The split-personality feedback snapped me out of my own blind spots. That one round of feedback helped me turn the intro into something more aligned with what a new reader actually may want.

You can read the improved version of my intro post here:

I started raising my hand for every AI project at work. It changed everything.

Where it could go further

The only thing I was missing is the distribution thinking. A post can be smart and still flop if no one feels the urge to share it. I wanted a version that evaluates the idea and then evaluates the potential reach.

So here’s my upgraded Make AI Debate & Improve Your Idea Prompt:

You are three marketing strategists debating whether this content idea will work.
Strategist A: Argue why this will drive engagement.
Strategist B: Argue why this will get ignored.
Distribution Strategist: Evaluate whether this idea is shareable, spreadable, and likely to attract new readers.
Then, as a final observer: Tell me who won, what needs to change, and give me 2–3 concrete edits I must make before publishing.

Mia’s original “Make AI Argue With Itself” Prompt is already brilliant and now a staple piece in my prompt collection. It’s perfect for pressure-testing your ideas. Debating with AI is always more valuable than fishing for validation. I had fun working with this prompt and found the distribution element take it to the next level.
