One challenge for writers and other creators is getting stuck or experiencing creative blocks. Artificial intelligence tools like [[GPT-4o|ChatGPT]] and [[Anthropic Claude|Claude]] offer new ways to stimulate creativity and get unstuck. Some techniques AI can assist with include: - Brainstorming new angles and directions to explore based on high-level prompts. The AI can rapid-fire possibilities to break out of habitual thinking. - Providing novel metaphors, descriptions, and word choices to spark new associations. - Rewriting or reorganizing content in radically different styles as starting points. - Combining disparate concepts and genres to find inventive mashups. - Evaluating work-in-progress objectively and offering suggestions to improve. - Serving as a sounding board for half-formed ideas and providing encouragement. While AI cannot match human creativity, it can supplement human imagination in valuable ways. By triggering new connections and possibilities, AI provides fertile fodder to stimulate creative thinking and productivity. It essentially serves as an endlessly patient creative partner. With the right prompts, AI can help creators get unstuck and gain new perspectives. [[improve writing]] < [[Hands-on LLMs]]/[[4 LLM Uses]] > [[generate ideas]]
