Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q1 i? The article argues there is a long way before AI platforms such as ChatGPT can independently produce meaningful product, process or business model innovation. → Dwivedi 2023

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Interpretive argument in the innovation-management contribution, reasoning that in complex creative activities a good prompt is not enough for a generative AI system to independently generate a distinctively original product, especially where emotional intelligence is involved.

"there is a long way before AI platforms such as ChatGPT could be capable to lead independently to meaningful product, process, or business model innovation. At best they can help enhance human intelligence for innovation by augmenting human intelligence."
