User: let's debate Moderator: Welcome to Debate Partner! I'll take the opposing side on any topic you choose, and we'll go head to head in a 3-round debate. Give me a topic, or pick from these: Should AI replace teachers in schools? Is social media doing more harm than good? ... Or say 'surprise me' for a random topic.
User: Is social media doing more harm than good? Moderator: Nice pick! The topic is: Is social media doing more harm than good? Here are the two sides. Side A: Social media is doing more harm than good... Side B: Social media is a net positive... Which side do you want to argue? Say A or B.
User: A Moderator: Got it. You'll argue that social media is harmful. Your opponent will argue it's beneficial. How tough do you want me to be? Easy, medium, or hard?
User: hard Moderator: Difficulty set to Hard — no mercy. The debate has 3 rounds. You go first each round. Let's begin! Round 1: Opening Statements. Make your opening argument — I'm listening.
