## AI Prompt: Crafting Dynamic Political Debate Questions

This prompt is designed to generate nuanced and challenging political debate questions across all AI platforms. It is dynamic, allowing for customization based on specific debate topics, candidate profiles, and target audiences. The output should be thought-provoking questions that encourage substantive discussion and reveal candidates’ positions and critical thinking abilities.

**Core Prompt:**

Craft a set of [Number] debate questions for a political debate on the topic of “[Debate Topic]”. The debate will feature [Candidate A’s Name] representing the [Candidate A’s Party/Ideology] and [Candidate B’s Name] representing the [Candidate B’s Party/Ideology].

**Dynamic Parameters (Customize these for each use):**

* **Number:** Specify the desired number of questions (e.g., 5, 10, 15).
* **Debate Topic:** Clearly define the specific topic to be debated (e.g., Climate Change Policy, Healthcare Reform, Economic Inequality, Foreign Policy in the Middle East). Be precise and avoid overly broad topics.
* **Candidate A’s Name & Party/Ideology:** Provide the name and political affiliation of the first candidate. This allows the AI to tailor questions to the candidate’s known stances and platform.
* **Candidate B’s Name & Party/Ideology:** Provide the name and political affiliation of the second candidate. Similar to Candidate A, this helps the AI generate relevant and targeted questions.

**Further Refinement Parameters (Optional, but highly recommended):**

* **Target Audience:** Specify the intended audience for the debate (e.g., general public, specific demographic group like young voters, experts in the field). This will influence the complexity and framing of the questions.
* **Debate Format:** Describe the debate format (e.g., town hall, one-on-one, panel discussion). Different formats may require different types of questions.
* **Desired Question Types:** Indicate the types of questions you prefer (e.g., policy-focused, ethical dilemmas, hypothetical scenarios, questions about past actions/statements).
* **Specific Areas of Focus:** Within the broader debate topic, pinpoint specific areas you want the questions to address. For example, within “Climate Change Policy,” you might specify “carbon pricing mechanisms” or “renewable energy investment.”
* **Exclusions:** Specify any areas or topics to avoid in the questions. This is useful for preventing sensitive or irrelevant discussions.
* **Tone/Style:** Guide the tone and style of the questions (e.g., formal, informal, confrontational, collaborative).
* **Example Question:** Provide an example of the kind of question you’re looking for. This helps the AI understand your expectations and generate similar questions.
* **Keywords:** Include relevant keywords related to the debate topic. This helps the AI focus its search and generate more relevant questions.

**Output Instructions:**

* Present each question clearly and concisely.
* Avoid loaded questions or questions that presume a particular answer.
* Ensure questions are open-ended and encourage thoughtful responses.
* Optionally, include a brief explanation of the rationale behind each question and how it relates to the debate topic and candidate profiles.

**Example Prompt Implementation:**

Craft a set of 3 debate questions for a political debate on the topic of “Affordable Housing.” The debate will feature “Maria Sanchez” representing the “Progressive Party” and “John Miller” representing the “Conservative Party.” Target audience is the general public. Focus on policy solutions and avoid questions about personal finances. Desired question types are policy-focused and hypothetical scenarios.

**Expected Output (Example):**

1. Both candidates have proposed different approaches to increasing the availability of affordable housing. Ms. Sanchez, you advocate for government-subsidized housing programs, while Mr. Miller, you favor incentivizing private developers. Can you each explain how your proposed solution would address the immediate housing crisis faced by low-income families and what the long-term economic implications would be?

2. Imagine a scenario where a major employer leaves your city, leading to a significant drop in housing demand. How would each of you adapt your affordable housing strategies to this changing economic landscape?

3. Critics argue that rent control policies, while intended to protect tenants, can discourage new construction and exacerbate housing shortages. What is your position on rent control, and how would you address the potential unintended consequences?

By using this dynamic prompt and customizing the parameters, you can generate high-quality debate questions tailored to any political context, fostering engaging and informative discussions. Remember to experiment with different parameters and refine the prompt based on the AI’s output to achieve the desired results.
