ChatGPT vs. MBA Students: AI Beats Humans at Generating Ideas

In a recent experiment, ChatGPT was able to generate more innovative ideas than MBA students.

ChatGPT was able to generate 200 ideas in an hour, while the students took days.

ChatGPT's ideas were also more popular with people, with 47% of people saying they would buy one of its products.

This suggests that AI can be a powerful tool for innovation.

However, humans are still essential for evaluating and selecting the best ideas.

AI and humans can work together to create even better products and services.

The future of innovation is a team effort between humans and AI.
