Hypothetical Prompts
Hypothetical prompts ask the AI to imagine scenarios, predict outcomes, or explore "what if" situations.
Key Characteristics
- Encourage creative and critical thinking
- Useful for planning, risk assessment, or storytelling
- Can reveal potential challenges or opportunities
When to Use
- For scenario planning, risk analysis, or creative writing
- When exploring possible futures or alternatives
Example Prompts
- "What if everyone worked remotely?"
- "Imagine a world without fossil fuels."
Example Result
If everyone worked remotely, cities might see less traffic and pollution, but there could be challenges with collaboration and work-life balance. A world without fossil fuels would rely on renewable energy, changing transportation and industry.
Best Practices
- Clearly state the hypothetical scenario
- Ask for pros, cons, and possible outcomes
- Use for brainstorming or exploring alternatives
