"I love the creativity already." It'll say the same thing for any terrible idea. Try street carts serving dog shit picked off the street, babysitting service using sex offender felons since they'll work for cheap so they can be around underage kids, airplane where customers flap the wings using pulleys to get a workout so it's like a gym and travel in one, saving time - any terrible idea you can think of. ChatGPT will give you instant praise.
