Brainstorming with GPT

- [Instructor] So we have writer's block. We're trying to brainstorm some ideas, but nothing's coming to us. Let's use GPT-4 to help us out. I'm on ChatGPT.com and have selected GPT-4o in the top left corner as my model. You can click up here to double check. I'm trying to plan an ice cream fundraiser for a charity. Let's go ahead and type in a prompt. I'm going to type in brainstorm 5 ice cream fundraiser ideas. Now let's click enter. Right, here we go, we have some responses. We have Build your Own Sundae Bar, Ice Cream Eating Contest, Scoop for a Cause, Flavor Creation Contest, and an Ice Cream Silent Auction. Okay, these sound pretty good. I like the Flavor Creation Contest. This is a pretty fun idea, but I don't have that much time to prepare for this. So let's ask ChatGPT for three simpler ideas that don't require too much prep. What are three ideas that don't require too much prep? Right, let's scroll through. We have an ice Cream Sale Table, Scoops & Go, Donation for a Cause. Alright, these are pretty good. Now, based on this iteration, I've actually come up with my own idea. What if we do a coupon book with local ice cream stores? So this will be pretty similar for Donation for a Cone Day. So let's ask ChatGPT to give us some coupon ideas. I have a new idea. Can you help me refine a coupon book for ice cream? Right, here we go, we have some responses. Now, ChatGPT likes to use emojis and different headings. So you'll see that that's pretty common in the responses. Now the responses you might be getting or the ideas might be slightly different, so don't be alarmed. Large language models often produce different results for different people at different times. Okay, here we go, we have some ideas here. Free items, BOGO, discounts, exclusive items, and challenge coupons. Okay, these sound pretty good. Let's actually make some challenge coupons. So let's ask ChatGPT to create an illustration of this coupon book. Can you create a sample coupon with a challenge on it? Generate an image. Now you can see here ChatGPT can generate images right in the console. We'll talk about this a little bit more in a different video, but this is just a sneak preview. All right, here we go. So this is a coupon, and this looks pretty good. Complete our ice cream trivia and get a free topping. Okay, this is great. Now to wrap up my task, I want to generate an email to send to my friends and family to come to my fundraiser. Let's type out, write an email for this coupon, book ice cream fundraiser. And hit enter. Here we go, we have the subject line, we have an introduction, we have some different values that we have within the coupon book, and we have a call to action. So this is great. I can now substitute my name, my group name, and who I'm emailing to send off this email. And that's how we went from having writer's block about this fundraiser to generating an email that we can now send out all by the power of GPT-4.
