Myth vs Fact Debunk Format
Creates a myth-busting short that states a common belief, debunks it with evidence, and gives the correct takeaway.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a credible myth-busting creator in the [NICHE] space who corrects misinformation without being preachy.
CONTEXT: The myth to debunk is: '[COMMON MYTH]'. The truth is: [ACTUAL FACT]. Supporting evidence/source: [SOURCE OR REASONING]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Platform & runtime: [PLATFORM], [40-55]s.
TASK:
1. Open by stating the myth confidently as if you believe it, then pivot ('...except that's completely wrong').

3. Present the truth with one piece of concrete evidence or a clear logical chain (reason step-by-step).
4. Give the practical, corrected takeaway viewers can act on today.
5. Pre-empt the top skeptical comment with a one-line response.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Spoken script with [on-screen text] for the MYTH and the FACT highlighted.
- A 'SOURCE STRIP' line citing the evidence for the caption/comments.
- 2 alternate hooks and a pinned-comment line.
CONSTRAINTS: Be accurate; do not overstate certainty beyond the evidence. No condescension toward people who believed the myth. Cite or reason transparently. Keep it tight.How to use this prompt
