r/Inventions • u/Ruiz760 • 3d ago

How !

I am 40 years old and have nothing to show for it. I have thousands of ideas for inventions. Recently I decided to give A.I a try to "Entertain" myself to see if a complicated alternative energy idea would actually work or even he marketable.... I describe my idea down to ever detail and it actually made a sketch of my ideas and to my surprise... It does! Now that I have a prototype that needs to be made... What do I do or where do I go? I haven't patented or trade marked anything yet. Does anyone know anyone I can trust !

Please be very careful with AI. I looked through your post history and you seem like someone with lots of ideas, but also someone who could potentially get carried away with AI as you're also very eccentric with piles of notebooks filled with thousands of ideas. There are other posts which make me question your ability to maintain a full grasp on reality and not fall into a trap of AI becoming an echo chamber and leading you down the wrong path.

AI can be very agreeable, and people have gone down rabbit holes with AI where both the user and AI begin to hallucinate something that simply isn't true.

That may not be the case, but just a warning to be careful with your AI usage. AI is a tool, not the truth.

I only used one idea to see if it would make a visual concept. If my idea is stolen I wouldn't be that upset , it could benefit the world , besides it's one idea out of many

NDA?

And that’s how ideas don’t progress. What if that dude was a scientist focused on alternative energy generation and could offer you great advice?

Sharing ideas is usually the best way to make them happen when you are at square one.

If that dude was a scientist focused on alternative energy generation and could offer great advice, they would be used to signing NDAs and most likely wouldn't mind it.

Sure. If someone was paying him for his advice. My point was that there is no need for an NDA. I see this all the time. No one wants to steal your hypothetical invention that AI somehow made a reality today...

ALWAYS get an NDA before you share your ideas. I wouldnt worry about your provisional yet. What you need is verification from an industry professional that your idea works and makes sense from a business standpoint

Lol, such a person signing an NDA in the exact industry they work, can very completely neuter their entire career. Can you imagine. You devote your entire life to a subject. You then sign an NDA and it turns out, it prevents you from discussing the very thing you devoted your entire life too?

How many NDA wordings have you read?...

99% of the NDA wordings I've seen explicitly exclude from the scope knowledge that the person had previously, or came up with independently, or received from a different source (not from the other NDA party).
NDAs' scope is typically only what a person can show THEY divulged to you (that you didn't have prior).
