Have you ever wondered why AI is so racist?

Well… it’s not.

I just said that so you’d click on this post.

Now that I’ve got your attention, here’s the actual point:

You can use AI to write insanely good hooks, thumbnails, titles, subject lines, and headlines.

But before I give you the prompt, you need to understand what makes a headline good.

There are 3 parts:

1. It needs a “what the hell?” factor

The person reading it should stop for half a second and think:

“Wait… what?”

That’s what breaks the scroll.

2. It needs to be interesting

Being shocking for the sake of being shocking is stupid.

If your headline is just:

“I hate you.”

That’s weird, not interesting.

But if it creates curiosity, contradiction, tension, or confusion in a way that makes people want the explanation…

That works.

3. It needs to be short

Nobody wants to read a full paragraph before they even get to the post.

Short wins.

So here’s the prompt:

ChatGPT, I want you to write 25 headline ideas for this topic: [INSERT TOPIC].

Make them short, curiosity-driven, and slightly surprising.

Each headline should create a “what the hell?” reaction without being random, fake, or clickbait for no reason.

Use contradiction, tension, unexpected angles, or strong opinions.

The goal is to make someone stop scrolling and want to know the explanation.

Keep each headline under 10 words.

Give me a mix of bold, funny, weird, controversial, and practical options.

Use that for posts, YouTube titles, email subject lines, thumbnails, whatever.

Most people ask AI for “a catchy title.”

That’s why they get garbage.

Give it a proper framework and it gets way better.
