The fast development of generative artificial intelligence, GAI - notably through chatbots, suggest that algorithms will increasingly become the starting point for ideation. That is, chatbots are useful for ideation in content creation. And so, rather than start idea sketching with a blank piece of paper, or making a sketch model out of, say, card, designers will go straight to keyboard prompting using chatbots such as ChatGPT. To ideate, then, is to prompt. But to do so is complementing rather than substituting analogue ideation tools because the human-to-human work aspect of designing is not easily replaced by GAI. The outcome, however, may go through further prompt iteration and becoming the AI generated idea, or "aidea". , or developed further through human design thinking and doing. Indeed, most recent research shows that working together with ChatGPT on complex creative tasks improves the individual's creative performance And so, GAI can be used to support and enhance human creativity
