The Creative Conundrum

Since ChatGPT launched in 2022, most of us have accidentally fallen into a trap where we ask AI to do the parts of our work that are arguably the most human. We ask artificial intelligence to write our emails for us, to brainstorm new ideas, and to turn scattered ideas into clear plans and strategies. However, this approach is misguided. The explosion of generative AI made creativity the most obvious entry point for everyday employees experimenting with AI. A blank ChatGPT box feels like an open invitation to write copy, brainstorm things, or generate ideas.
