One of the best use cases for AI is to help you with your thinking.
You can ask an AI to come up with new ideas, however, you may find it needs a little help.
One option is to combine the power of AI with creative thinking techniques, of which there are hundreds. (Try Googling ‘SCAMPER creative thinking technique’).
If you have a favourite creative thinking technique, you could feed it into ChatGPT, Claude or another LLM. Then describe your challenge (the more detail, the better) and ask the AI to use the creative thinking technique to generate some ideas for you.
Try combining some of the best ideas, with the help of the AI.
I taught creative thinking for business for 12 years by the way, throughout the UK and continental Europe. It never really felt like working for a living and I met a lot of interesting (and highly creative) people.
