Original Insight: The Thing AI Can't Fake

Any modelWriting From a course

AI averages the internet; audiences reward what the average doesn't contain — your data, your contrarian take, your first-hand story.

The prompt

Interview me to extract original material for a piece on [TOPIC]. Ask me 5 questions, one at a time, digging for: a first-hand experience, a number I know that others don't, and an opinion I hold that most in my field would push back on. Then propose the piece's angle built around my answers.

What to replace

Swap these placeholders for your own details before running the prompt:

[TOPIC]your own value

Pro tip: One original ingredient per piece is the minimum bar — no ingredient, no publish.

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt using the button above.
Replace [TOPIC] with your own details — the more specific you are, the better the output.
Paste it into Any model and run it.
If the answer feels generic, add constraints: audience, length, tone, and what to avoid. That single change fixes most weak output.
