In improv theater there's something called "yes and" - essentially you take the premise father, no matter how absurd, without redirection.
You can come up with the most ridiculous things and it just goes with it, hilariously.
I'll come up with one on the spot. "I'm having a very difficult time with my pet snails being social. I'm thinking of starting a social networking site and giving snails tiny phones so they can chat with each other. I need a company name, an elevator pitch, and some copy for my landing page."
And then you ask it to do I dunno, NFTs and crypto currency for snails, give them tiny VR headsets. Have it come up with a jingle and a commercial. You can say instead of unfriending you salt them. Etc... It'll just keep going. Even "A snails rights luddite group of Mennonites and Amish are now protesting my idea. I need a way to appease my critics. Can you write a letter for me that defends snailconnect as healthy and good?"
One of my favorite outputs from this session
"How about SnailConnect; a small trail for snail, one giant leaf for snailkind."
You don't ever get to a place where it's like "well now you're just being ridiculous"
But I agree. It's just a big data version of Eliza - spitting my reflection back at me
