I've been wondering whether people have used ChatGPT to explore different sides of an opinion, especially given how easy it is to get trapped in echo chambers. Sometimes, when I have a strong opinion on something, I might create two separate chats asking ChatGPT questions like 'Why is Donald Trump bad?' and 'Why is Donald Trump awesome?' From these discussions, I try to figure out where I stand. Has anyone else tried this method of using ChatGPT to get a balanced view?

Yeah, I’ve done something similar! It can be really eye-opening. I’ll ask it to evaluate issues from different perspectives, including various biases or ethical viewpoints. It helps me get out of my own bubble and understand how others justify their opinions, even those that seem totally alien to me.
I find it way easier to have genuine discussions with AI than with friends about politics, especially when you get into heated topics!
