An excellent persuasive paragraph or essay does not aim to convince people who agree with you but people who disagree with you.
As part of that, you have to present the strongest argument of your opponent and then refute it.

Essentially, if you simply write, "I believe X," and the other person writes, "I believe Y," you have a disagreement, but not an argument.

Because of that, an argument by ChatGPT requires research and the use of reporting verbs to introduce the arguments by other people you may be quoting.

Reporting verbs should also be used when reporting data and they MUST be used strategically.

ChatGPT categories three types of reporting verbs: Weak, such as "suggests" or "claims" above.

When you report an argument or data you agree with, used a STRONG reporting verb such as "found" or "demonstrates."

That way, an opponent may "claim or assert" that something may be true.

Your argument is framed as a "fact'', your opponent's is presented as "claim".

Here's a ChatGPT reporting verbs arranged by their relative strength:

Negative (you disagree with this)	Neutral (you are not convinced)	Strong (you agree)
suggests speculates intimates hypothesizes implies posits that	describes asserts reveals argues states indicates	found that demonstrates shows reports emphasizes
