Five sources, none of them invented
Starting on a topic and needing somewhere real to begin reading.
Give me the five best sources on the question below. For each: what it is, what it argues, and how much weight it deserves. Only sources you are confident exist. Where you are working from memory rather than certainty, mark that line clearly. I would rather have three real sources than five with one invented. Question:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Starting on a new topic. Mapping an unfamiliar field, scoping the question, and finding somewhere real to begin reading.
