For much of my career, I’ve had a habit of asking fellow employees, my employees, research PhDs, consultants, assistants, secretaries, family members how they think of names and concepts for things I’m working on, from the marketing of mobile phones to insurance to software to well, too many things to mention. Now, before I turn to a human, I bounce things off of AI tool, especially for LinkedMusicians.

So, I was working on interview questions for a developer for the first LinkedMusicians interview. I was contemplating whether I should do it as a blog post or create a magazine and was asking AI to provide me with some ideas for names for the publication. Some of the ideas weren’t just awful, they were spectacularly awful. My favorite bad idea? “Bedroom Pro. ” Clearly, the AI was thinking about Bedroom Producers Blog, but I think Bedroom Pro is likely to have non-home studio connotations. Maybe for an April Fool’s Day joke. But clearly that was lost on the AI.
