My opinion

I found ChatGPT very helpful during the concept development stage because it generated ideas quickly and helped me organize my thoughts into a clear design direction. It was useful for brainstorming sustainable design strategies and developing a concept statement for the community library. However, some responses were quite general and needed more specific prompts to produce detailed results. Overall, ChatGPT improved my workflow and saved time, but I still had to evaluate and refine the outputs to ensure they matched the project's goals and requirements.
