This prompt is a playful way to kick-start wildly different ideas for any project or product by stepping into exaggerated mind-sets. It forces you to see the same problem through several extreme lenses (cash-strapped dreamers, ruthless critics, caffeine-fuelled makers, etc.) and then surface the most surprising or useful angles—usually the ones your normal perspective would filter out.

Examples:

"Generate ideas for [{PROJECT/PRODUCT}] as group of [{ROLES: e.g., hurting marketers, cynical investors, manic makers}]. Assume [{CHALLENGES: e.g., budget constraints, audience apathy}]. Present the ideas as [{FORMAT: e.g., post-it notes, a heated ideation session}][4).*

Generate side project ideas as weary developers who need to make money without learning new frameworks. Present as a Slack thread where everyone’s ranting about legacy code.
