The Challenge Circle
Ramez Kouzy, MD
About This Resource
One of the most valuable ways I use AI is as a 'challenge circle'. When I'm reviewing an article, drafting a manuscript, or making a decision, I actively push back. I ask the model to critique my reasoning, find holes in my logic, and argue the opposing view. It's not about getting agreement--it's about stress-testing ideas before they hit the real world.
What you'll learn
- Turning AI into a critic instead of a yes-man
- Stress-testing clinical and research ideas
- Prompting for counter-arguments
- Identifying logical gaps in your reasoning
- Preparing for real-world review and critique
