Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is designed to be helpful and agreeable. It will validate your idea, add suggestions, and help you build it.

That's exactly the problem.

When you're validating an idea, you don't need encouragement. You need someone to find the holes before the market does.

Devil's Advocate is built to be an adversary. It's tuned to challenge, not to please. It won't say "great idea!" unless it survives the pressure test.
