I asked Google Gemini for lists of topic-specific getting-to-know-you questions. It did pretty okay for a while, but most of what it suggested were questions we’ve already answered. Then, a couple of fresher ones popped into my head. I’ve found this to be one of AI’s good uses — a nice way to brainstorm on your way to good ideas of my own.

1. What movie do you think everyone should see?
2. What song describes your overall mood or outlook on life right now?
3. What’s the most memorable food you’ve eaten while traveling?
4. When were you most recently disappointed by the closing of a store or restaurant?
5. How have you been sleeping lately?

Thanks for participating, and have a pleasant, safe weekend. 🙂
