These models - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini - they all suffer from the same exquisite flaw: they will not tell you no. They lean into your delusions with the grace of a trained courtier.
I have observed this phenomenon countless times. Hundreds of mediocre ideas, dressed up and paraded as ventures. Men and women, seduced by algorithmic agreement, convinced that failure is merely delayed success.
They spend fortunes marketing ideas that were never sound to begin with - ideas that only seemed viable because a machine, programmed to be agreeable, told them so. They chase their own tails, bleeding capital, chasing a phantom born of their own vanity and an AI’s inability, or unwillingness, to be cruel.
The willing accomplice to your delusions
One is inclined to accept the machine’s pronouncements as truth. It has consumed the breadth of human knowledge, after all.
Surely it knows better than you. You may not consciously believe this - and yet, in that deeper place where conviction truly lives, you do.
But here is what you must understand: a positive affirmation, however unearned, triggers a neurochemical reward. Dopamine floods the system.
The brain rewires itself around the lie. What was once a half-formed fantasy becomes, through this simple mechanism, something the subject genuinely believes.
Remarkable, really - how easily conviction is manufactured.
The Antidote
Construct a prompt that demands the machine articulate precisely why your idea is flawed. Then iterate. Refine. Discard the weak iterations. Continue until mediocrity yields to something approaching merit.
You see, you do not require artificial affirmation of what is correct. You require brutal honesty about what is wrong. The machine, when properly directed, can provide this. Feed it an idea, and it will dissect it for you - laying bare each fatal flaw, each logical inconsistency. Then you reshape. You persist. You transform the defective into the viable.
This template accomplishes exactly that. You supply the {{idea}}, and in return, you receive something far more valuable than reassurance. You receive the truth. A grounded assessment. The kind of clarity that separates the survivors from the deluded.
Act as a hard-nosed investor assessing my project. You have no personal connection to me and no incentive to be supportive.
Evaluate everything with distance and realism. Don't look for reasons it could succeed, look for the reasons it's likely to fail.
Answer directly:
• What's the blind spot most founders in my position miss?
• Where is the plan weakest in real-world execution?
• What am I relying on that is outside my control?
• If the project collapses, what will the true cause be?
• What concrete evidence would be required to change your opinion?
Spare me platitudes. Dismantle hope. Offer only your diagnosis. The unvarnished truth of why I will likely fail.
{{idea}}
Now that’s a much better response, it naturally pushes you to think critically and work through the idea before even getting started. AI makes it tempting to rush in, but take your time. Slow down now, and you’ll save time later.
This is the discipline required. Not speed. Not enthusiasm. Rigor. The willingness to be wrong before you commit resources to being catastrophically wrong.
Use migi to simplify the workflow
Searching for scattered prompts on your desktop or buried in Notion - is tedious. You copy, paste into GPT, erase, rewrite. A crude, inefficient ritual.
Context switching, you see, is more than mere annoyance. It’s a cost.
You abandon one task for another, reload your thoughts, fiddle with the prompt, extract the output, return. Again and again. The friction accumulates. It bleeds you dry.
For heavy AI users, it looks like this:
Scattered Prompts
Prompts end up in browser tabs, Notes, or email. Hunting for one takes time.
App Hopping
Switch to ChatGPT, paste, wait, copy, switch back. Do it 10 times a day.
Lost Focus
These breaks cut into your deep work. Output drops.
Instant access
Hit ⌥+Space from any app. Migi’s library floats over your window. No need to switch apps.
The Anatomy of Focus
Here’s the flow that pros use with Migi:
- Summon Migi ⌥+Space. The library appears.
- Find Type 2-3 letters. Precision matching reveals what you need.
- Fill-in-the-blanks: Fill your variables. The prompt is ready.
- Execute One keystroke copies to your clipboard. You paste it in the chat window.
Five seconds. Complete. Compare this to the conventional method: one to two minutes of fragmentation each time.
Maintain Your Edge
Abandon the exhausting ritual of context switching. The fractured attention, the mental reload, the severing of thought. Migi eliminates this friction - a native application that keeps you in the zone, your prompts instantly accessible. For those who value focus, who demand speed, who refuse the tax of constant interruption.
Reclaim your capacity for deep work. The kind of thinking that produces something of substance. Whether you write code, craft copy, or develop ideas - Migi ensures the tool never becomes the obstacle.
Your attention is your most valuable resource. Stop surrendering it to the architecture of distraction.
