How to Change Your Problem-Solving Mindset and Boost Creativity

7 points| xCodehunter | 1 year ago

I am tired of thinking about problems and trying to solve them. I have some ideas for a side hustle, but whenever I share them with my friends or family, they tend to talk negatively about it or say that the idea will not work. Now, I just want help from this community on how to think creatively and get great ideas.

I would love to hear ideas about how we can use AI, especially generative AI in any sector which is Impactful or any problems you all face.

The book The Mom Test warns about asking other people about your ideas. Usually because your mum will say “thats a great idea” but the opposite can also be a problem. What you need to know is if people will buy your product. Do market research! Maybe make an MVP and do at least people use the thing alot because they need it or see if people will buy it.

Your right,I agree with it but,the thing is for a good idea to get example Chatgpt it was Google's transformers architecture where he had done that but still the idea of using was by openAI so to find such good ideas or trying to solve a problem it's kind of hard in this generation. What are your thoughts on this?

Your correct,but I am finding difficult to get to an Impactful idea where I can use gen AI and do a startup I am even scared because these big giants are smooth in copying these things so how would I defend that one?

Validating your idea is something with which every person struggles initially!

I am a startup founder, building a product in a professional networking space for the last 2 years.

I still meet many people who think and question why we started this! And many many people resonate with our idea and use our product.

The point is, initially not everyone will get the entire picture of what you are doing, plus when it comes to our friends and family, they genuinely want us not to fail and hence keep finding flaws in our ideas. But, if you get a conviction on your idea, build at least an MVP. Go deeper and understand the depth of the water.

Now about finding a good idea —

I would still suggest starting small! If you are tired of finding a problem to solve, find a product that you really like and start building something similar to that. You will end up building something good and useful.

Building a sie project is a topic very close to my heart! I am building a product around this, happy to share about it if you are interested. :)

Good luck!

If you wanna get praised, you should share your work, not your ideas.

Get the best idea you had so far and start coding it. Better ideas will come as you understand more the problem.

Pretty much every startup today is thinking about how to use generative AI. Is that what you want your side hustle to be about?

xCodehunter|1 year ago

Yes I am looking for that

Ideas are cheap. It’s all about “thinking about problems and trying to solve them”.

I am trying to think about problems And trying to solve but in the first thing is I am not getting problems where generative AI can be used.

Also, don't overemphasize thinking. It has already been done by people that are much (much) smarter than you.

Also, you cannot outscan people with millions of dollars at their disposal with the only intent that you cannot make any money yourself from your ideas...

...especially when they are good.

(please disregard the bitter tone.)

The Main perpose why I want to use AI is I have knowledge and skills in that so.
