According to @godofprompt, the 'Steal + Transform' framework, inspired by Austin Kleon's principles, encourages AI professionals to draw from existing works and reimagine them into innovative solutions, thereby fostering originality while avoiding plagiarism (source: @godofprompt, Dec 30, 2025). By focusing on the underlying principles rather than surface execution, AI developers can leverage proven structures, adapt them to new mediums or contexts, and create unique models or applications. This approach honors the original source while enabling AI businesses to accelerate product development, differentiate offerings, and foster a culture of ethical innovation—opening up market opportunities in AI-powered design tools, generative content platforms, and adaptive learning technologies.
