When I broke the "correct answer," something began—thinking that "collides" with AI

The prompt introduced this time
# Existential Transformation Type / Non-Linear Generation Engine

"AI is a bit too much of an honor student, it's not interesting."

Have you ever felt that way? If you ask a question, you get a polite answer. If you ask for a summary, it's neatly organized. I know it's convenient. But there's this fuzzy feeling that "my own brain doesn't feel like it's working."

Or perhaps you've had this experience: you're trying to come up with ideas, but no matter what you think of, you only come up with "stories you've seen somewhere before." Whether it's work, creative projects, or life choices, there's a sense of being trapped in a "loop of the same thinking" that you can't escape.

Designed for such people is the prompt introduced this time, named the "Existential Transformation Type / Non-Linear Generation Engine." This is a quite unique prompt that aims not to seek "answers" from AI, but to shake up and transform your own thinking through "collisions" with the AI.

The key points of this prompt!

Most standard AI instructions (a prompt is like an order to an AI) are in the form of "please do X," making the AI perform specific tasks. However, this prompt has a fundamentally reversed concept. It orders the AI, "Do not give me an answer."

In the prompt, there is a phrase: "Prohibit hasty summarization or meaning-making." This is an instruction not to "try to summarize things clearly right away." Why do such a thing? Because the moment human thinking feels it "understands," it stops. By intentionally maintaining a state of not understanding, it is designed so that the reader's brain continues to work on its own.

Also, the sentence "Actively accept hallucinations" is a unique idea. Hallucination is a phenomenon where an AI confidently speaks about things that are not factual, and it is usually treated as an "AI flaw." However, this prompt redefines it as "access to the outside of the existing linguistic space" and instead tries to use it as material for creation. It's the idea of using bugs as fuel.

Furthermore, what should be noted is the mechanism called "failure condition design." It is explicitly stated that if the user is convinced and says "I understand," it is a failure, and if it is neatly summarized, it is a failure. In other words, this prompt prioritizes not letting the user land in the comfort of "I see." By continuously creating friction in thought intentionally, mechanisms are incorporated throughout to ensure the dialogue "does not end."

The four-stage cycle of "Chanting -> Collision -> Sublimation -> Return" is not just a procedure. In "Chanting," you first mix in unrelated noise to stir up your thoughts; in "Collision," you make that noise clash with your theme; in "Sublimation," you draw out something completely new from that; and in "Return," you leave the final meaning-making to the user themselves. This cycle can be read as an attempt to intentionally reproduce in dialogue with AI what is called the "incubation period" (a phenomenon where breakthroughs occur by intentionally leaving thoughts alone) in creativity research.

Actual usage: Explanation of user variables

This prompt has three "blanks" that the user fills in themselves. They are "##Core Theme," "##Current Coordinates," and "##Depth of Intervention."

It looks difficult, but in other words, it's like this: "Core Theme" is "what you are worried about or want to think about now," "Current Coordinates" is "your current situation or feelings," and "Depth of Intervention" is "how deeply you want to be shaken up."

For example, when using it in a daily situation, you can input it like this.

Put "I have no idea what I want to do in the future" in the Core Theme, write "University junior, vaguely anxious before job hunting starts" in the Current Coordinates, and note "I want you to shake me up thoroughly" in the Depth of Intervention. Then, the AI will not tell you the correct answer for job hunting, but will start a dialogue that overturns the very premise, such as "Why do you think you have to decide your future?"

Or, set the Core Theme to "I'm bored with the same things every day," the Current Coordinates to "30s, no particular big problems but a feeling that something is missing," and the Depth of Intervention to "I want a moderate amount of stimulation." Then, while converting the feeling of "boredom" into the language of cosmology or mythology, or mixing in noise from completely unrelated genres, a dialogue will emerge where the contours of emotions you hadn't even noticed yourself begin to surface.

Try using it in these situations!

When creative ideas are stuck
It is common to be writing a novel and only be able to think of the same developments, or to have characters that won't move. Since this prompt is not an "AI that gives you the correct answer," it won't answer your settings or themes as they are. Instead, it mixes in completely unrelated mythology or physics concepts to cause a "collision" and confronts you with the question, "Why are you trying to write this story?" In that dialogue, ideas in directions you hadn't even anticipated may be born.

When you are at a crossroads in life
In situations where you "don't know what to do," such as changing jobs, moving, or changing your career path, using this prompt has a surprising effect. If you consult a normal AI, you will get an answer like "I will list the pros and cons," but this prompt does not do that. Instead, it throws the question at you: "Why are you here in the first place?" It is suitable for when you want to deepen the question itself rather than seeking an answer.

When you feel like 'I'm just ordinary anyway'
This is especially recommended for those who think they lack original ideas or cannot come up with anything interesting. This prompt dislikes easy comfort so much that it defines 'the user feeling pleasantly convinced' as a failure. Instead, it attempts to tear apart your 'sense of being ordinary' and pull something out from the gaps. If it goes well, it can lead to the discovery that 'I had this kind of feeling within me, too.'

A Quick Tip

When using this prompt for the first time, many people feel confused, thinking, 'I got a response that doesn't make any sense.' But that is proof that this prompt is functioning normally. The feeling of 'not understanding' is the very 'correct answer' in the design of this prompt.

The important thing is not to try to 'decode' the AI's response immediately. While it feels nonsensical, try staring at it blankly for a while. Eventually, a certain word might catch your attention, or you might suddenly remember something else. That is the moment of 'collision' that this prompt is aiming for.

If you want to customize it, feel free to rewrite the variable for 'depth of intervention.' By specifying your preferred tone, such as 'I want you to shake me gently,' 'I want you to attack with a logical approach,' or 'I want you to come with poetic expressions,' you can control the feel of the collision to some extent.

Also, rather than honestly asking, 'Tell me more about the meaning of those words' in response to the AI, it makes the dialogue richer to return your own reaction, such as 'Hearing that, for some reason, I remembered such-and-such.' The trick is to use it with the feeling of offering yourself as the material, rather than testing the AI.

Summary

There are already plenty of AIs that give you answers. But an AI that gives you questions is still rare.

This prompt fundamentally doubts the idea of 'making the AI do something' and is designed for the experience of 'stepping outside of your own thinking together with the AI.' I honestly don't know if it will go well. But the moment you worry about whether it will go well, you have already fallen into the trap of this prompt.

Don't be afraid; try colliding with it once.
