Generative AI for Idea Generation
AI is great for brainstorming and idea generation. Idea generation is about combining ideas together in different ways, which is something AI can do quite well — finding connections between disparate ideas.
You can use AI to help you with idea generation for entrepreneurship, for non-profit ventures, and many other projects.
Ask ChatGPT (or Gemini, Claude, or your other favorite LLM) to come up with ideas related to one thing that interests you or ask it to mix and match to generate ideas related to two or three things that interest you.
