5 ChatGPT Prompts To Break Creative Blocks And Publish Great Content Faster
Most people treat creative block like a medical condition. They wait for inspiration to strike, for the muse to visit, for conditions to be perfect. They don't realise it's just fear. It's your ego protecting itself from judgment.
ChatGPT can help you get over creative blocks and show up with confidence by the end of the day. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.
Break creative blocks with ChatGPT: prompts to launch faster
You already know enough to help someone. But that knowledge trapped in your head serves no one. Every day you don't share it, someone struggles with a problem you've already solved. Stop hoarding your insights because you don't know how to talk about them. They're gifts to be given, and meant to be used.
"Based on what you know about my expertise and experience, identify 5 pieces of knowledge I take for granted that could genuinely help my target audience. For each one, create a simple framework or step-by-step guide I could share immediately. Don't let me overthink this - give me actionable content ideas I can execute today."
The drafts folder on your social media accounts and the word documents on your hard drive are a graveyard of good ideas. Half-finished posts, abandoned projects, concepts that never saw daylight. These raw materials are waiting for you to take the next step. And it's easy. Quadrupling your online presence could happen by repurposing content you already created. Nothing new. Just better packaging.
"Look at these draft documents I never published. For each one, turn it into the complete piece of content - whether that's a post, article, or product. Ask me questions about it first (purpose, format, audience desired outcome), until you have enough information."
Perfection is the enemy. It's procrastination in disguise. And done beats perfect every single time. Your audience needs the solutions only you have. They'd rather have your rough ideas today than your refined thoughts never. Launch ugly. Fix it later.
"Based on what you know about my current project or idea, help me create the minimum viable version I could share today. Strip away everything that isn't essential. What's the core value I can deliver right now? Create a simple outline or framework I can launch within the next 2 hours."
What you're most afraid to share is probably what your audience most needs to hear. Those vulnerable truths, controversial opinions, and hard-won lessons are your competitive advantage. Your past holds lessons that could transform someone's world. Your everyday mantras could bring breakthroughs for potential clients. Everyone else is playing it safe. And that's your opportunity.
"Analyze our previous conversations about my work and challenges. What topic or opinion have I mentioned that seems to make me uncomfortable or hesitant? Create 3 ways I could share this perspective that feel authentic but bold. Help me frame it in a way that serves my audience while pushing my comfort zone."
Momentum beats motivation. Action beats analysis. The faster you move, the less time fear has to catch up. Journal, meditate and reflect, sure. But call it a day when you have the epiphany. Build your creative confidence through repetition. Ship something every day for a week and watch your creative blocks disappear.
"Create a 7-day rapid creation challenge for me based on my expertise. For each day, give me a specific prompt or challenge that takes no more than 30 minutes to complete and share. Make day 1 the easiest and gradually increase the boldness. Focus on quantity and speed over quality."
Stop overthinking and start shipping: ChatGPT prompts for creative momentum
Your creative blocks are self-imposed prison walls. They exist because you let them. Stop waiting for permission to create. Go through your drafts for hidden gold and ship the rough work so you learn fast. Lean into the fear and let speed become your secret weapon. Creative confidence comes from creative action.

Your Face Could Cost You The Job: The Dangerous Rise Of Facial Recognition At Work
The Covid-19 pandemic ushered in a new era of remote work. Many employers desperate to track and monitor employees working away from the office implemented different technology tools to surveille employees. According to one 2025 report, more than half of fortune 100 employees were required to return back to the office fulltime. With many back-to-office mandates in place, remnants of surveillance culture have remained. Many companies are using facial recognition software to manage employees. A recent survey by ExpressVPN indicated that 74% of U.S. employers are using online monitoring and surveillance tools with 67% using biometric tracking like facial recognition and fingerprint scans. Employers use facial recognition software in a number of different ways: to track employee attendance, to identify employees, to interview and screen job candidates, to reduce the number of employee touchpoints, and to track employees (this is common for delivery and gig workers). What are the vulnerabilities and limitations of using facial recognition software in the workplace and how does it reinforce biases? There have been several different cases where facial recognition software has caused harm, reinforcing biases in the workplace. In 2025, a complaint was filed with the Colorado Civil Rights Division and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the software company Intuit and the human resources assessment software vendor HireVue. The complaint alleges that the AI used by HireVue resulted in an Indigenous and Deaf woman being denied a promotion based on her race and disability. In a separate case, a makeup artist at a leading brand claimed to have been fired in 2020 because of a video interview through HireVue, where the facial recognition software marked her poorly for her body language during the interview. In 2024, an Uber Eats driver won a case where he alleged that that company fired him because of racist facial recognition software. The former employee claimed that he was fired after the company's verification checks, which use facial recognition software, failed to recognize his face. Scholar and writer Dr. Joy Buolamwini has focused much of her research on the flaws with facial recognition technology discussing in her book Unmasking AI as well as the documentary Coded Bias how the technology is less accurate at identifying darker skin tones. There is a wealth of evidence that indicates that facial recognition technology disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. This technology frequently misidentifies Black people leading to wrongful arrests. One 2025 study indicated that facial recognition tools had higher error rates for adults with Down syndrome. Researchers also note that facial recognition tools are less accurate for transgender individuals and these tools struggle to identify non-binary folks. Integrating facial recognition tools into the workplace can have deleterious effects on employees. A 2023 assessment of feedback shared with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy indicated that digital surveillance in the workplace creates a sense of distrust among employees, making them feel constantly monitored and leading to a decline in productivity and morale. Workers also noted that digital surveillance could limit unionizing, deterring this type of behavior in the workplace. There were also employee concerns about data privacy and how the data collected would be used. Employers should think twice about implementing facial recognition software in the workplace. Not only is the type of technology prone to bias, but it can also erode employee trust and morale. If organizations have this type of technology in place already, they should request more information from the vendor about audits and what accountability measures are in place to ensure accuracy and mitigate bias. Employees should know their rights and there must be transparency around how data is collected, stored, and used. We must deeply consider the future we are creating when our face holds the key to whether we praised or punished.

Law enforcement department in Denver metro area begins using AI to assist with police reports
Police in Wheat Ridge are getting a technology upgrade. As of Aug. 1, the department has begun using artificial intelligence to help officers write their reports. "It was hand notes. You could go through a notepad in two shifts because you're writing everything down," said Sgt. Jamie Watson. The department's AI technology works directly with body-worn cameras. "I don't have to sit there and go back in my memory and go now 'What did she say about this?' It's right there -- it's transcribed for you," Watson said. To demonstrate, Watson simulated a traffic stop: "Speed limit there is 40 (mph). And I hate to tell you, you were doing 52," she said during the demonstration. Once the body camera is activated, the system begins running and listening to the interaction in real time. Within seconds, a report is generated for the officer to review. "It says, 'On August 5, 2025, at approximately 2:29 p.m., I conducted a traffic stop in the parking lot of the Wheat Ridge Police Department.' Now, I never said that -- it just picks up your location based on where you are," Watson explained. Wheat Ridge police spokesperson Alex Rose said the program costs about $100,000 a year and is an addition to the department's existing contract with Axon for body cameras. "In a net-net, you ask our officers, it's saving about 40% to 60% of their time behind a computer writing reports," Rose said. Rose says that means there's more time that officers can now spend out in the community. The department's new AI tool joins a growing list of technologies used by law enforcement agencies, including body-worn cameras and automatic license plate readers. Anaya Robertson, policy director at the ACLU Colorado, said the use of AI in police reporting raises legal and ethical questions. "When we're talking about incident reports and case notes -- those are often admissible in court," Robertson said. "There's a general bias that AI doesn't make mistakes, which is problematic when you think about something being used as evidence." He emphasized the need for transparency. "(It's) needed so the community knows their law enforcement agency wants to utilize this kind of technology," she said. In Wheat Ridge, the AI-generated report is only considered a first draft. Officers are prompted to include additional observations and personal reflections the AI may not capture. Built-in safeguards require officers to review the report carefully. Errors are intentionally placed in the drafts and must be corrected before submission. Watson, who participated in the testing phase, said the technology allows her to spend less time behind a desk and more time in the field. "It is an incredible benefit to the officer," she said. According to Rose, the department consulted with the district attorney's office, which approved the use of AI-generated reports. Each report includes a disclaimer noting the use of artificial intelligence in its creation.
