Why Asking AI the Right Questions is Pure Creativity - Breakdown

Someone shared that they were told "If you use AI, you are not creative." They responded: "I feel very creative in asking questions only AI can answer. I am using technology to work with me, not against me." Here's why they're more right than they know.

Their perspective: Creativity lies in knowing what questions to ask and how to leverage AI as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement for human thinking.

My addition: Ask the right questions, get the right answers. Generating prompts and clear instructions is a skill that takes genuine creativity - it requires deep thinking that AI can't provide.

Here's the key insight: AI can only solve your problems if you know your own problems well enough. Most people course through life unconsciously, ignoring their problems instead of solving them.

The strategic advantage: If we can identify what our problems are, then AI will work in our favor. But this requires self-awareness that most people lack.

For those struggling with problem identification: Practice self-inquiry or hire a coach to ask questions directly. Sometimes rumination isn't enough because our brains solve for the wrong things due to perceived importance of irrelevant events.

The breakthrough comes through sheer force - ignoring dopamine and asking the right questions to get the right answers. The most creative act isn't generating solutions, it's identifying the problems worth solving.

Hope you found this valuable! :)
