Another example of the democratization of creativity is the camera.

It used to be that only "professional" photographers knew how to use a camera.

  • A good metaphor

  • Use the Socratic Method: ask a scientific study questions about itself

  • Explain large aggregated datasets in plain language… in just three words

  • Ask it to solve a problem that you or even the world faces to get ideas
