I've been using it for product ideas as well. Occasionally it's brilliant but sometimes it's so bad it's funny, like when it suggested Seven-Year Itch for a perfume brand.

I actually like to make the bad ones. It is fun. It is an exercise in creative engineering. Especially since my side project is making home goods for stoners.

Don't they say something about seemingly brilliant ideas being too obvious or usually not working out, and the terrible ones being the ones that are have more potential to be diamonds in the rough?

Yeah, what's wrong with that? I'm sure it would be catchy to a particular demographic. No need for a brand to cater to everyone.

But also it would heavily depend on the context they gave it when asking it to generate that.
Because GPT is capable of: doing marketing, math, science stuff, programming and anything else to a junior-semi advanced level, it needs to be prompted and given context to get it into the right "mood" for doing what you want it to.
There's a huge difference between casually chatting to it about various topics before suddenly asking what a good perfume brand would be. Versus providing it with the fragrances used in the perfumes that the brand makes, the general goals/image that the company wants to set, their target demographic etc and _then_ asking for a brand name suggestion.
I'd be keen to see how they asked.

That is a great name for a perfume brand! It’s also the name of a comedy by Billy Wilder staring Marylyn Monroe. Market it to rich old ladies.
