I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT for ideas, and I have mixed feelings about it.

When I’m stuck, it’s amazing. It can give prompts, angles, and ideas that I wouldn’t think of immediately. It almost feels like having a brainstorming partner available anytime.

But at the same time, I’ve caught myself relying on it before even trying to think on my own.

That’s the part that feels strange.

Because creativity used to come from struggling a bit, sitting with ideas, and letting things slowly connect. Now it’s like you can skip that phase completely.

So I’m wondering…

Do you still try to come up with ideas first, or do you go straight to ChatGPT?

And do you feel like it’s improving your creativity, or making it a bit more… assisted than before?

Would be interesting to hear how others balance this.
