Seeking Non-Redundant Inputs and Ideas
The concept of non-redundancy emphasizes the importance of seeking inputs from individuals with diverse ideas, backgrounds, attitudes, and experiences. Redundancy occurs when ideas are shared with like-minded individuals, resulting in reinforcing existing beliefs. Seeking non-redundant inputs is beneficial before making significant decisions as it offers fresh perspectives and prevents egocentric thinking. Utilizing generative AI, like chat GPT, can serve as a valuable brainstorming partner by providing non-redundant ideas. However, it is suggested not to seek non-redundant inputs too early in the creative process to avoid contaminating original ideas. Non-redundant inputs are particularly valuable during brainstorming sessions or tasks that require diversity, but may not be suitable in situations requiring uniformity or precision.
