> Idea generation. I used to spend a lot of time chatting with colleagues about a vague idea I had. “How could we check whether X is true?” A tool like ChatGPT can help you get started. If you ask how to design an experiment to check a given hypothesis, it can often do a surprisingly good job.

While GPT4 can recognize an innovative idea, I have yet to see it suggest such an idea, or successfully extrapolate or question the idea. If you are beyond the "concept space" of the model, it is not going to help you explore it.
