This is an important accessibility issue for people like me, with no internal monologue. We do not constantly render our thoughts and desires into words, and so are hobbled by an open search-box UX.

Another variant might be an auto-generating index of products we can dig through, or a faceted search which synthesizes new categories of products as we refine the features.

You could make money off of this if you are able to pair willing manufacturers to realistic and popular ideas that get generated. It could become a real market place. Hilarious project. Edit: I did both Mouthwash Ramen and Time Machine to the Present. I’m now addicted to this, thanks.

If you hook it up to a production line, capitalism will reach it's peak.

I love it.

This is interesting. Sounds like a superpower. If you don't know what product you need you probably don't need it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I know of a company that is huge in laser for physics and started like this in the 80s (through magazine catalogs). They would list all kinds of lasers. When they got some offers for one of them, they'd sell it and schedule the delivery in 90 days. Then, they started the project from scratch. Crazy stuff and borderline legal :D

A previous boss did this in the early 2000s. Put up a bunch of single page descriptions with "coming soon" labels, include an email subscription to "stay on top of news", turn on AdWords to get some traffic... and then start working on what people were actually interested in.

Isn't this just sort of market research for how to prioritize the roadmap? I think it was a great way to do so.

Someone email me when I can buy Barbed Wire Toilet Paper. That one is my favorite. Its so devious. Imagine needing TP but all you find is one roll. Rolled in barbed wire.

Name a better use for AI than this website? It is impossible. At least according to my AI Idea Gauge - https://anycrap.shop/product/ai-idea-gauge

Not such a good idea as you thought. Measurable only with a Head-mounted Vernier Gauge Idea Micrometer.
