One of the more common and useful ways to use tools like ChatGPT is to brainstorm.
If you don’t know where to start with something or if you want to see if there are ideas that you didn’t think of, this is a good way to stimulate creative thinking.
I know, I know, it seems backwards. It doesn’t have to be though and it can help you get past writer’s block, idea block, or whatever block is holding up your progress.
You can give a small amount of context and ask the AI tool to ask you questions about it to gather...

Most of the prompts given to AI tools like ChatGPT are short on information and context. This leads to the tool making more assumptions and giving worse results than expected.
Continuing the conversation from the last post, ChatGPT has plenty of output options for the more technical users.
Most people don’t realize that they are not limited to “plain text” output from text-based AI tools like ChatGPT.
Here is a line directly from OpenAI’s documentation about ChatGPT:“ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers…”
