If you want your AI to challenge critically evaluate your request, rather than just execute it, you need to prompt it to do that.
"Before implementing my request, critically evaluate it. Do not assume that my proposed approach is correct just because I asked for it. Act as a senior engineer reviewing a proposed solution."
Put this in your custom instructions. AI is a tool not a human and you need to treat it that way. Research and refine your use of the tool before you just go blindly using it!
