Happy Week 4, SEAGAP Book Club! ⚡
This week we dive into Chapter 4 (“AI as a Person”) and Chapter 5 (“AI as a Creative Partner”).
While Ethan Mollick argues that treating AI like a person yields far superior outputs than treating it like standard software, treating AI like a human colleague comes with distinct pitfalls—from robotic “hallmark” empathy to managing generic creative outputs.

- 2. Pushing Past Generic Creativity (Ch. 5): When using AI as a creative brainstorming partner, how do you push past cliché, overused AI outputs (like corporate jargon or generic event concepts) to get truly fresh, non-obvious ideas?
