ChatGPT doesn’t have to be boring if you know how to use it. What I love about it is the ability to combine ideas to come up with imaginative concepts. I spent weeks playing around with prompt building and here’s what I discovered.

1. Create a persona of a [dental patient] based on a [tv show personality]

Add a fun element to your persona creation process. This doesn’t replace the research that has to be done to create your persona but it’s a great way to kick off the exercise.
