Satisfied into irrelevance

Looking for ideas by prompting LLM models may be actively detrimental to innovators unless they have an iron will and discipline to look beyond the superficial and dig deeper.

At the moment, great majority of popular LLM models have sycophantic tendencies, striving to satisfy the user first and foremost. Combine that with all natural tendency of innovators to fall in love with ideas—which are most often expressed as solutions, versus problems or desired outcomes—and we have a dangerous mix.

This creates fertile ground for premature stoppage of exploration and discovery, in essence leading the innovators to a local optimum (if they are lucky), resulting with wasted time, effort, and high risk of opportunity cost.

To be clear, I am not advocating for Ludditism but rather for critical and thoughtful application of tools at hand. Creativity is a too important of a muscle to allow it to atrophy.
