I spent time answering questions to gather data about the product that I want to create with AI. I want to make “something” that helps students and others interested in developing themselves as creative people to be more open to experience, which is a strong predictor of creative achievement. AI did not have anything to do with the following answers. I will now plug these in to ChatGP3 and see if it has any ideas for me.
What is the history of the situation?
As a teacher I wish students knew about creative attributes. I wish they were top of mind and they could engage in activities in their own time, at their own pace and in their own space. For some people, the attributes come easy but for others it is stretching out of their comfort zone. If a student is brought up in a home that didn’t expose the student to things that are “different” – a person might equate different with danger or weird, even if that is not the case. For example, I have met way too many kids that are only comfortable eating chicken nuggets and spaghetti.
How does this make you feel?
It makes me sad to watch people let opportunities pass because they are afraid of looking silly, failing, or just afraid of change.
Who else is involved?
Like everything the person’s environment will affect them.
Why is this a challenge?
People need to know that there is scientific data about what makes a creative person. A lot of studies have been done. One of these that are most important is Openness to Experience.
What is your influence?
I have the knowledge, instructional design experience, and tech skills to make it a reality.
What have you already tried?
I had a unit on the creative person, I have had students do “creative person” missions and keep a journal but I need to do something more accessible for people not taking my class as well as people taking my class.
What is stopping you?
Nothing, I am ready to jump in.
What does your gut tell you?
Get started and iterate with feedback.
What is your ideal outcome?
Self directed experiential learning activities that meet the needs of learners.
What are the success criteria?
I will know that this product is a success if I get feedback that it helped a person grow their capacity for openness to experience.

I told AI “I answered questions to clarify my thinking, can I share them with you?” Then I copied and pasted my above answers, this is what their response is. So I think that AI thinks that this is a feasible project.
Best Practices
AI is a language pattern detector so the more specific you can be with what you are looking for, for example; ideas, feedback, etc. Provide context and feedback. Take the time to answer questions during the creative problem solving process on to a document, then copy/paste into AI – ask AI to elaborate, give you ideas, or give you feedback. The more specific, concise, and context you provide will give you a better output.
