AI Amplifies Creativity with Detailed Prompts
AI has become my creativity sidekick, and it never fails to amaze me.
Each time I use AI to tap into my creativity, I don't simply prompt it with a headline and hope for the best. Instead, I invest 30 minutes in crafting a prompt with layers of background information: audience profile, product context, tone guidance, and even a few examples of the narrative flow I'm aiming for.
The result is consistently a genuinely creative output. AI often reorganizes the structure in ways I hadn't considered or draws analogies that make the concept click.
What impresses me most is that AI doesn't create in a vacuum. It builds on the direction and nuance I provide. I act as the director, and it serves as the amplifier. That's where the magic lies.
The sweet spot is learning how to guide it effectively. When you give it depth and context, it will surprise you.
Unexpected Conceptual Leaps in Speaker Pitches
I asked an AI to write a speaker pitch for someone whose niche was "emotional intelligence through improv comedy." It's an unusual combination, isn't it?
What impressed me wasn't just the coherence—it was the framing. The AI didn't default to a bland summary. Instead, it opened with: "Most people teach leadership from a podium. I teach it from a punchline." That line was original, catchy, and aligned perfectly with the speaker's brand.
What impressed me: The AI wasn't just parroting templates—it made a conceptual leap. It saw the tension between comedy and corporate and turned that friction into the hook. That's creativity: taking two unrelated ideas and producing a third, unexpected result.
It reminded me that while AI doesn't "create" like humans do, it can remix with surprising intuition—especially if you feed it odd ingredients.
AI Suggests Innovative Chords for Classical Music
I use AI a lot in my day-to-day as a marketing executive and a writer. But I hadn't tried it for music yet. In any case, recently I was writing a classical-style piece and hit a wall trying to find the next chord—something unexpected but still in line with the harmonic sequence. I used ChatGPT to brainstorm a few options, and it suggested several options that were delightful, and ones I hadn't considered.
I'm not sure if I'd call it "creative" in the human sense, though what human creativity actual is, nobody knows. I do know that it wasn't drawing from emotion or personal experience, but the answers it provided were very creative and useful. What impressed me was how it could "think" within a musical tradition and offer something that felt intentional and stylistically appropriate.
AI Sparks Fresh Marketing Ideas
One instance that stood out to me was when I used an AI tool to help generate ideas for a creative marketing campaign. Instead of just offering generic slogans, the AI suggested a series of story-driven concepts that combined unexpected elements, like blending local culture with futuristic themes. What impressed me was the AI's ability to connect ideas that I hadn't considered, sparking a fresh perspective for the team. It wasn't perfect, but it acted like a creative partner, providing a jumping-off point rather than a finished product. This showed me that AI can go beyond data and patterns to offer imaginative combinations, which is where real creativity lives. It challenged the notion that creativity is purely human and made me rethink how AI can support, rather than replace, creative work.
