A prompt trick that asks ChatGPT for three answers—one sensible, one slightly reckless, and a third combining the best parts of both—solves the AI's tendency to give the most obvious reasonable answer. Instead of a single safe, predictable recommendation, the technique produces three genuinely distinct approaches and explains the tradeoffs between them. The exercise encourages ChatGPT to compare different approaches rather than treating the first reasonable answer as the finish line. For example, a standard prompt for a weekend trip might produce a sensible itinerary of highest-rated attractions, while the three-solution prompt suggests expected museums and restaurants, then renting bicycles to explore overlooked neighborhoods or planning around independent bookstores and local festivals, with a hybrid blending famous attractions with unusual stops. The explanations are often as useful as the answer itself, helping users make better decisions. If the hybrid solution feels close but not right, users can ask ChatGPT to repeat the exercise using that version as a new starting point; after two or three rounds, ideas become more distinctive without drifting into nonsense. The trick scales from short projects to months-long schemes.
