AI Creativity Chronicles​ Weekly Insights from ​The AI Over 50 Guy

Don’t just use ChatGPT,
​challenge it 🧠

Most folks poke at ChatGPT and have no idea what it can do. The magic shows up when you demand more. Not louder—smarter. Think of it as an amplifier for the clarity you already have. 🔊

If you're like most people, you are only skimming the surface of what ChatGPT or other AIs are capable of providing to you... today!

A quick personal story ☕️

Recently, as I explained in this brief rant, I utilized ChatGPT to refine a messy business idea. I told it to think longer, push back on me, and propose simpler options. After several rounds of real dialogue, I had a more finely focused plan I could actually act on. That felt like relief, not hustle. 😌

Try Easy Exercise: The 5‑Minute Depth Drill ⏱️

Talk to ChatGPT like this (in a modified version based on whatever's up for you), and you’ll feel the shift.

1. Set the role. “You are my strategic thought partner. Think step‑by‑step.” 🎯
2. Ask a hard question. “What’s the simplest, sustainable version of my offer?” 🧭
3. Turn up the depth. “Take a minute to think. Explore 3 angles. Then give your best answer.” 🔍
4. Invite critique. “What’s weak or risky here? How would you fix it?” 🧪
5. Make it usable. “Turn this into a 30‑day starter plan with tiny steps.” ✅

Do you see how this opens up a whole new level of possibilities for leveraging the power of AI?

Here's a copy/paste version that you can personalize:

Why this works (in plain English) 💡

• You’re not asking for trivia—you’re asking for judgment from a very intelligent thought partner. 🎓
• The follow‑ups force the AI to reason deeper, not just reply faster. 🪜 This gives you access to the expanded capabilities of the latest AI models.
• You end with a plan with more specificity and depth, one can actually do. 🗺️
