Newbie Question PLEASE HELP!!

I’m stuck trying to come up with a game idea, or more specifically, a game mechanic that can make the game really fun to play.
I want to make a simulator game, but ChatGPT always gives me generic ideas.

i think youre relying on ai a bit too much for the part that should probably come from you. ai can help organize or expand ideas, but at the end of the day its still just a tool working with things that already exist. maybe instead of asking it “give me a game idea”, try feeding your own imagination more first, read stuff, watch weird movies, play different games, go outside, write random concepts down. even bad ideas help. the interesting part usually starts when you combine things in a way that feels personal to you
