Powerful ideas spark world-changing progress
Powerful ideas spark world-changing progress, often fueled by perspectives that break free from convention. My 2020 article explored this, emphasizing the need to “see the world outside of current conventions” for meaningful change.
While the pandemic served as a forced paradigm shift, a truly transformative solution wasn’t readily apparent.
Fast Forward
Fast forward to today, AI explodes onto the scene. Large Language Models (LLMs) rapidly penetrate various spheres, from business applications to creative realms. The pace is staggering.
More than efficiency, LLMs empower us to transcend conventional thinking. They offer not just quick (coded or no-code) solutions, but limitless creative potential to explore beyond the familiar.
This ability to self-generate paradigm shifts unlocks opportunities for groundbreaking solutions.
Inventive Minds
Some bemoan LLMs’ “inventive minds,” worried they fabricate realities to fill factual gaps. Yet, I believe the creative mode holds greater value. Facts are readily available; a model regurgitating them offers little benefit.
I have collected some real-life examples that showcase the creative potential of LLMs and their ability to fuel innovation.
One word of warning: LLMs will require your creative mindset to truly unlock their potential.
These are just a few examples, and the possibilities are constantly expanding as LLMs evolve. Remember, the key is to leverage their creative potential to explore new ideas and perspectives, not simply rely on them for factual recall.
Curious how you are leveraging LLMs, let me know.

TextFX is free AI tool designed to enhance your writing process 👇
TextFX is a creative writing tool that’s powered by Google’s PaLM 2 and has 10 features that can generate ideas in response to your prompts.
- Design and Architecture
With Midjourney, architects can rapidly prototype visual concepts from textual prompts, expanding the scope of their design ideation process.
In general AI-powered design tools are not only helping accelerate the concept generation but also enrich the design process with a multitude of visual possibilities, providing a canvas for architects to explore and iterate designs with unprecedented freedom.

- Scientific Research
LLMs are assisting researchers in diverse fields, such as material science and drug discovery.
By analyzing vast datasets and identifying patterns, they suggest new research directions and potential solutions, accelerating the pace of discovery.

- Software Development
The rapid prototyping capabilities of low-code/no-code tools are often praised for their speed and efficiency. But they also hold immense potential for sparking creative thinking in software development, thanks in part to their integration with LLMs. Instead of starting from scratch, you leverage an LLM-powered design tool like Figma’s AI brainstorm feature Jambot for example.
