My two cents

I'm playing more and more with generative AI tools to see how these tools can help my work as a service designer. The tool I use the most is NotionAI as it's integrated in Notion, one of the apps I use the most. I used these prompts with NotionAI but they might work well also with tools like ChatGPT.
​
To me I see what's generated by the AI as a first shitty draft I can improve, as it's often easier to improve something than to start from scratch.
​
For each of these prompts, I've put in bold the parts you'll need to adapt.
