Every time I see people on HN say how they love to use chatgpt to generate ideas I think of this. It seems a lot more work coming up with prompts then having to vet them to see if the output is even sensible or not than it does to come up with some sensible search terms to query real data that actually contains what you are looking for.



Using LLMs for factual concepts is by far the most boring application of them.

Often times people use LLMs for generating ideas that don't have a factual basis.

ChatGPT will happily invent gameplay mechanics that are fun. It will generate prompts for convincing concept art for something you haven't built.

If what you're looking for can be answered by Google, sure the business people at Microsoft would rather you use a portal that never lets you leave their site... but that's not interesting.
