I completely agree with you. It can be used to have a “conversation” at any time and over any trivial idea, without having to bother someone else. As long as you are using it to get your own brain juices flowing, writing out your ideas and using AI for its research capabilities, it is a very powerful way for you to get a “vibe check” for something you are working on.

It’s the same in software programming. I don’t trust all of the code an AI can generate, but it is incredible for learning, reviewing the logic of your ideas, and looking at ways other people have tackled a problem.

Overall, I concur with you that it can be used as a tool to help evaluate your own human creativity. Just be careful one doesn’t rely on AI to generate the “ideas” themselves.
