24 thoughts on “Lesson 24 TBD: GBB Practise #1

  1. I used the GBB and I get excited by the results. Of course they are not all bangers – but neither are all of my ideas. It give me a starting point to explore ideas. and of course you can continue the conversation and explore specific situations. Having a prompt, with a thinking technology in it is such powerful concept. It steps me through the process so I can focus on the answers and not stress about the process.

    It reminds me of the “Yes And” concept in improvisation. You can but your head against the dumb ideas that were output or you can take the good ones and “Yes and”

    lets face it humans but heads on bad ideas from their perspective in real world brainstorming. At least ChatGPT remains unflappable!

  2. The GBB I did (using the identical prompt) generated a slightly different list of GBB points from those in the lesson book. In fact when asked to generate even more better points it produced some even better ideas. The most interesting lesson from this example is performing the GBB as a conversation (eg what are the best 5 of the 20 better points you generated?) improved the results. This really is about having a conversation!!

  3. It GOOD, it suggests working from home on Fridays, which defeats the purpose of having free public transport and to partake in weekend leisure activities…which doesn’t really relate to Fridays.
    In BETTER, it goes off topic again with car-pooling and ride sharing and a congestion tax …
    So, there are some great suggestions and ideas but it seems to go off topic a bit.

  4. Under the BETTER, the first point. CHAT created (can CHAT create?) the idea to DISCOUNT instead of offer for free – so it actually deviated a bit from its primary objective to quite literally create a whole different idea.

  5. OK – when I did this, I got 4 Good, 3 Bad and 2 Better. To be fair, I did do it twice, having failed to copy results first time. Most interesting in the responses was the provision of deeper and more creative output.

  6. ChatGPT did a good job of GBB but did not consider or GBB analyse the full question. “By Law…”

  7. Seems to me the time saving factor is the big plus… and everything can be used to dig deeper, spin off other ideas, and generally aid in creative thinking…

  8. GBB – trinary approach is the most interesting aspect. ChatGPT is now responding with different lenses to the idea presented.

  9. It seems to have learned the GBB lesson well and has generated comprehensive responses under each heading which I imagine were created more quickly than a human could think or write them.

  10. Pretty standard answers you’d expect to come up with, but in seconds, and without the couple hours of potential head strain.
