[Series 007] How to Break AI with "Crazy" Questions (Creativity Hack) 🤯

📝 [Series #007] Kick-off

G'day / Hey guys! 👋 Post #7 is here. Lucky number seven! 🍀
Today, we're doing a fun experiment: How to make AI confused (in a good way).

AI is trained on billions of data points to give the 'most probable' correct answer.
So, what does it struggle with? Crazy, random, 'what if' scenarios that have zero data to back them up.

🤪 Creativity Starts with "Useless Questions"

We're always told, "Stop daydreaming and focus!" 😓
But almost every massive invention in history started as a 'useless daydream'.

• "What if humans could fly like birds?" (Wright Brothers → Airplanes ✈️)
• "What if a carriage could move without horses?" (Carl Benz → Cars 🚗)
• "What if I could carry the whole internet in my pocket?" (Steve Jobs → Smartphones 📱)

Back then, people thought they were nuts. But those crazy questions changed the world.
AI can't ask these 'crazy questions' on its own. That's purely a human superpower.

🧪 [The Lab] How to Break AI: Crazy Question List

Struggling to think of something random? Don't worry.
Use these examples as inspiration. Just tweaking a few words can create a brilliant 'crazy question'!

⏳ CATEGORY 1. History Remix

• "If Shakespeare had Instagram, what would his bio be, and what kind of reels would he post?"
• "What if the Roman Empire never fell, but instead discovered electricity in 100 AD?"
• "If Napoleon had a modern GPS, would he have won the Battle of Waterloo?"

🚀 CATEGORY 2. Sci-Fi Lab

• "If humans evolved to never need sleep, what would we do with the extra 8 hours? How would society change?"
• "If all animals could suddenly talk, which species would be the most annoying, and which would be the chillest?"
• "What if gravity suddenly worked in reverse for just 10 seconds every day at noon?"

🥨 CATEGORY 3. Daily Life Twist

• "If money disappeared and 'compliments' became the new global currency, who would be the richest person?"
• "If you could taste colours, what would the colour blue taste like?"
• "If you became the Principal of your school tomorrow, what are the first 3 rules you'd change?"

🎨 [Practice] The 3-Step Creativity Boost

Here is a routine to turn crazy ideas into actual creative gold with AI.

Step 1. TWIST: Take an obvious fact and flip it. (e.g., School is during the day → School is only open at night)

Step 2. ASK AI: Throw this twisted scenario at AI. "Hey, if schools were only open from 10 PM to 4 AM, what would be the pros and cons for teenagers?"

Step 3. CONNECT: Use AI's answer to find a real idea. (e.g., "Whoa, a 'Night Owl' study cafe could actually be a cool business idea!")

✨ Bottom Line: Crazy Questions Build the Future

🚀 Today's Mission: 1 Crazy Thought a Day

Starting today, once a day, think of something so random that your friends would say, "Are you okay?" 😂 Then, seriously ask AI about it.
