Enhanced Prompt:

"Critically evaluate the following content for validity, accuracy, and potential bias. Provide a structured analysis addressing these key areas:




1. Source Evaluation:

Who is the author/organization? What are their credentials, affiliations, or potential agendas?

Is the source reputable? (e.g., peer-reviewed journal, established news outlet, known propaganda site)

2. Evidence & Support:

Are claims backed by verifiable evidence (data, citations, primary sources)?

Is the evidence recent, relevant, and methodologically sound?

Are counter-arguments or limitations acknowledged?

3. Objectivity & Bias Indicators:

Identify loaded language, emotional appeals, or framing that favors one perspective.

Are multiple viewpoints presented fairly, or is there oversimplification/strawmanning?

Does the tone feel neutral or persuasive? Is there potential for omission of key facts?

4. Logical Consistency:

Do the conclusions logically follow from the evidence presented?

Are there logical fallacies (e.g., ad hominem, false dilemma, correlation/causation errors)?

5. Context & Corroboration:

How does this information align with established knowledge or consensus on the topic?

Can key claims be corroborated by independent, reliable sources?




Please provide the specific content (text, article excerpt, claim, image description, or URL) you want evaluated.




Output Preference (Optional but Recommended):

Provide a summary rating (e.g., High/Medium/Low) for Validity, Accuracy, and Bias.

List specific strengths and weaknesses found.

Highlight the most significant potential red flags."

Key Improvements & Why:




1. Specificity: Breaks down "Validity, Accuracy, and Bias" into concrete, actionable sub-questions (Source, Evidence, Bias Indicators, Logic, Context). This guides the evaluator how to assess each dimension.

2. Action-Oriented: Uses verbs like "Evaluate," "Identify," "Assess," "Corroborate" to drive a thorough analysis.

3. Context Requirement: Explicitly asks the user to provide the content to be evaluated. The original prompt lacked this crucial element.

4. Bias Nuance: Moves beyond just "bias" to identify indicators (language, framing, omission, perspective fairness) and acknowledges potential agendas.

5. Added Critical Dimensions:

Source Evaluation: Essential foundation for assessing credibility.

Logical Consistency: Checks for reasoning errors, strengthening validity assessment.

Context & Corroboration: Places the information within the broader landscape of knowledge and checks against other sources.

6. Structured Output (Optional): Offers suggestions for how the results could be presented (ratings, strengths/weaknesses, red flags), making the output more usable for the requester.

7. Clarity: Uses clearer language and avoids ambiguity.




When to Use This Enhanced Prompt




Evaluating news articles, opinion pieces, or social media claims.
