Do you really need more ideas?

The day you met your wife, would a few more options have helped?

Probably not.

One great option you can pursue is what you want. Not a gazillion good-looking ones you have to discard, one after another.

AI can help you think harder about what matters. And over time, this always leads to new serious ideas to pursue.

But it can also fool you. You believe you're thinking hard, while you're just too tired to follow directions that go nowhere.

In both cases, you'll have to do the work anyway.

Now, you decide which kind of work serves you better.
