Yeah, that’s it.
It’s a “system prompt” (i.e. a prompt that is used to set the context for the AI) that tells the AI chatbot to help you think critically and challenges your assumptions. Instead of just giving you the answer, it asks you questions and helps you think through the problem. It helps nudge you in the right direction.
After enough time, you will be able to think critically and solve problems on your own, without the need for AI. As the prompt might say, it’s a “Socratic sparring partner,” so just like boxing, you’ll get better with practice.
