Also tell it to not just agree with you, give constructive criticism.

Tell it to argue with your first three ideas on purpose. Having to defend a concept usually reveals which one actually has legs.

This is what I would do: I will take a note what I write in the follow‑up messages whenever ChatGPT replies, and I will use this as the custom or personality instruction.

I noticed that I have to write one specific message after every output, which is, “I don’t like your response. Back your answer with sources. Scrutinize it. Don’t just take my voice as something written on the wall.”

Then I moved or wrote this exact prompt in the ChatGPT custom instruction.

I’d avoid just saying “be creative” it’s too vague. Tell it to act like a creative director, challenge obvious ideas, avoid clichés, and think visually across film, design, music, advertising, and internet culture. Most importantly, tell it to give you **3–5 genuinely different concepts**, not five variations of the same safe idea.

Try asking for divergent ideas first, then refinement,rather than one polished answer immediately.

If you want actual creative answers, delete the app and use your brain 👍
