Most people use AI wrong.
They ask questions. Copy answers. Move on.
But the top 1%?
They flip the script.
They don’t use AI for answers — they use it for better questions.
They use AI to tear their ideas apart before reality does.

Why Most People Waste Time with AI
Everyone treats AI like a shortcut.
“Ask it something, get an answer, done.”
But that’s how you end up building products nobody wants.
Your brain lies to you.
It makes your ideas feel better than they are.
It skips over weak points and hides the truth.
AI can expose that — if you use it right.
You need to stop asking it what to do…
and start asking it to find what’s wrong with what you’re doing.
Step 1: Build Your AI Second Brain
Most people open ChatGPT and start typing random prompts.
Then they complain the answers are generic.
Here’s why:
AI doesn’t know who you are, what you do, or what you’re trying to achieve.
So teach it.
Open a new chat and paste this:
“Tell me what you need from me so you can fully understand my role, business, goals, audience, and how I think. Ask me a series of questions to collect this information.”
Then take your time answering.
The more detail you give, the better your AI becomes.
You’re not chatting — you’re training.
When you’re done, you’ve built your AI second brain.
It understands your business, your goals, and your customers.
Now you’re ready for step two.
Step 2: Turn It Into a Critical Thinking Partner
Now we flip the power switch.
Paste this into the same chat:
“Become my critical thinking partner. For every idea I share, respond with three to five thoughtful challenges, blind spots, or potential flaws I might be overlooking.”
This turns ChatGPT from a yes-man into a coach.
Example:
You tell it, “I want to build a social media scheduling app.”
Most AIs say, “Great idea!”
Your critical partner says:
- What makes this different from 20 other apps?
- Why would anyone switch?
- How will you stand out in a saturated market?
- What’s your unfair advantage?
That’s the power of friction.
It doesn’t make you feel good — it makes you right.
The top 1% don’t chase agreement.
They chase truth.
Step 3: Make It Permanent
You don’t want to rebuild your setup every time.
Here’s how to make it permanent:
Option 1 – Projects
Save your “second brain” chat as a Project in ChatGPT.
Now, it remembers everything. No re-training. No prompts.
Option 2 – Custom GPT
Create a new GPT called “Critical Thinking Partner.”
Paste in your setup and context.
Now it’s your personal strategy coach on demand.
Both options work.
Pick the one that fits your workflow.
Why This Works
This process flips AI from an answer machine into a truth engine.
You’ll start:
- Spotting bad ideas faster.
- Making smarter business decisions.
- Avoiding wasted months and sunk costs.
- Thinking 10x clearer than your competition.
The more you let AI challenge you, the better you get.
The Top 1% Mindset
Everyone else uses AI for shortcuts.
The best use it for sharpening.
They don’t want easy answers — they want hard questions.
Because every bad idea caught early saves time, money, and reputation later.
Stop asking AI to agree with you.
Start using it to challenge you.
That’s how the top 1% win.
