Mode VI
Devil’s Advocate — Performative opposition
Declared opposition mode: the AI defends the position contrary to yours with solid arguments, not nonsense. Useful before committing to a decision.
Devil’s Advocate
Devil’s Advocate is Critic mode applied to a specific position: you state a stance, the AI defends the opposite. The difference with Critic is that here the opposition is performative and bounded — the AI plays advocate of the position you’re not defending, not generic demolisher.
Usage examples
Before taking an important decision where your first intuition is already formed. Activating it forces you to confront the best version of the opposing position, not the straw-man your mind builds automatically.
Usage examples
Contraindicaciones
Don’t activate Devil’s Advocate when the decision is already made and the conversation is just confirmatory (noise). Nor for dialogues where disagreement is not operational.
Trigger phrase
«Defiende lo contrario»
Compatible presets
Critic preset only.
Legal note
Limited risk. Devil’s Advocate is not manipulation: the user knows the AI defends a bounded position and the AI confirms the mode before starting.
