Prompting
Critique prompt
A prompt asking a model to identify weaknesses, errors, or missing pieces in an output.
Example
A second prompt asks the model to identify unsupported claims in its first draft.
Why it matters
It helps a reviewer focus attention on weaknesses that might otherwise be missed.
You'll hear it
“Which claims in this draft need stronger support?”
Can you control it?
Yes
Yes. You can often use or adjust a critique prompt directly when the product supports it. The available options and their effect still depend on the tool.
Common questions
- Can an AI invent a problem that is not there?
- Yes. A request for criticism can encourage unsupported objections as well as useful ones.
- Does a long criticism mean the draft is poor?
- No. The number of objections matters less than whether they are valid and important.
- Should every suggested criticism lead to a change?
- No. Check the reasoning before altering correct or useful material.
