LLMs: The Rubber Duck Debugger for Creative Work

Rubber duck debugging is a powerful method for developers to work through coding issues by explaining the code as if talking to a rubber duck. This concept can be extended to other creative fields, such as writing, art, and design, with large language models (LLMs) serving as a "rubber duck" for creatives. LLMs are massive deep learning models trained on vast amounts of data that generate original outputs based on user prompts. These models have shown the ability to accelerate workflows in creative tasks by allowing users to quickly iterate ideas and engage in conversational dialogue with them, known as "prompt engineering." By serving as a sounding board for creative ideas, LLMs help bridge the gap between creativity and technology, making it easier for people to accomplish creative tasks.
