I like to use AI as a sort of brainstorming tool. For example, if I have an idea for a software system, I will describe the general idea and ask for three different possible designs. I will tell it not to generate code but to provide three ideas with pros, cons, and tradeoffs. What it provides will often trigger some new ideas that take me off in a different direction. I often mix and match aspects of the ideas it provides with my own. I keep iterating on this till I think I have a design I like.
