An innovation love story
Why I’m in love with Chat-GPT — another innovation song
Another innovation song, inspired by an article in the Journal of Product Innovation Management by Frank Piller and colleagues, in which they put Chat-GPT through its paces as an innovation assistant. It performed surprisingly well at diverse tasks including search and analysis, trend spotting and idea generation. Their conclusion was that this technology would work best in hybrid mode — in other words, in a human/AI partnership.
Hence this song!

Once my innovation life was gloomy
(There were) days when the sun never shone at all
I’d spend all my time trying to second guess
But I’d keep on hitting a wall
So much to take account of, so many things might change
I’d was wrong more often than I was right
The only certain thing in that uncertain world
Was that innovation was hiding, out of sight
But then life changed,
a new face came
And turned everything around
This stranger swept me off my feet
Made my poor heart skip a beat
Now I’m flying, three feet off the ground
It didn’t take long, that’s why I’m singing this song
Cos I’m in love with — Chat-GPT…
Chorus
My chatbot, my chatbot, you mean the world to me
You make innovation easy, just like ABC
There’s not a question I can throw, not an answer you don’t know
It’s a marriage made in heaven, seems to me
Let’s innovate forever, let’s always be together
Me and my Chat GPT
You can take the hassle out of searching,
No database or survey is too small
You can scan your way across the internet
All that data doesn’t worry you at all
Finding opportunities before you came along
Was like trying to find a needle in a stack
Now you can find positions, new value propositions
It’s so good to know you’ve got my back
My front end
Of innovation
Will never be the same
Since you’ve been here, one thing is clear
I have nothing left to fear
It’s a new innovation game!
It didn’t take long, that’s why I’m singing this song
Cos I’m in love with — Chat-GPT…
Chorus
And as for idea generation,
How to come up with ideas
I just prompt you with some seed thoughts
And you come back with plenty, loud and clear
Brainstorming together is now such fun
You take me right out of my box
Now I’m never stuck at all, with you it’s really radical
We can pick that innovation lock
We’re a hybrid team,
We’re the best there is
The perfect interface
Even though we’ve just begun
No-one can beat us as we run
The innovation race
It didn’t take long, that’s why I’m singing this song
Cos I’m in love with — Chat-GPT…
Chorus
