Ideas can be painkillers, vitamins, or candies.
Tony Fadell describes ideas as being of two types. Now, with the rise of AI, a third has been introduced.
Tony Fadell described how the best ideas are painkillers, not vitamins.
A painkiller solves a major issue. Something wrong. A problem that shouldn't exist.
A vitamin is an addition. It enhances you. It doesn't solve a problem, it assists a solution.
With the rise of AI, most new ideas aren't even vitamins anymore, let along painkillers.
They're candies.
Soely for the purpose of enjoyment.
Is your idea a painkiller?
