ChatGPT Comments:
1- Focus on addressing the substance of the argument rather than resorting to personal attacks or ad hominem reasoning.
2- Represent your opponent's viewpoint fairly and accurately.
3- Avoid cherry-picking data or using isolated examples to generalize an entire group or situation.
4- When debating, make sure to back up your claims with evidence and reasoning rather than assuming what you're trying to prove.
5- Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Be cautious of assuming causation without proper evidence.
6- Avoid falling into the false dilemma or black-and-white thinking trap. Consider that there might be more than two options.
7- Lack of evidence does not prove or disprove a claim. Acknowledge when you don't have enough information to reach a conclusion.
8- The burden of proof lies with the person making a positive claim. The burden should not be shifted to the opponent.
9- Make sure there is a valid and logical connection between premises and conclusions.
10- The popularity of an idea or belief does not determine its truth value. Evaluate arguments based on their merits, not popularity.
