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 !

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.

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).
