15 Creative Ways to Use ChatGPT by OpenAI
Countless people herald ChatGPT as a productivity boon, great for helping you land a job, produce content, create a resume, and everything else you can think of. But what about the fun, unusual, and inventive ways to put ChatGPT to use?
Here’s how you can get creative with ChatGPT.
1. A Better Version of Google
Downloading the ChatGPT appis like having a compact version of the internet right in your pocket. The best part is that you no longer need to wade through s and long meandering articles to answer a simple question like “Will my steel pan work on an induction stove?”.
The free version of ChatGPT isn’t connected to the internet but instead relies on the information it learned through training. Subscribing to ChatGPT Plus, on the other hand, allows you tohook ChatGPT up to the weband retrieve current information.
Just like the internet, however, it can still get things wrong. There are somebig problems with ChatGPTthat need to be fixed, so be careful not to believe everything it says and avoid using it for high-risk outcomes!
2. Kickstart a Brand New Hobby
How do I learn to play the piano? What painting materials do you need for watercolor painting? How do I bake a potato gratin? Learn something new by putting these questions to ChatGPT. It’s far quicker than trawling through internet blog posts to find a simple answer to what you’re looking for.

3. Learn How Something Works
One area in which ChatGPT excels is helping us understand difficult ideas. You can ask it to explain the major themes in a famous novel or find the connection between two ideas. And if there are any parts of the answer you don’t get, ask ChatGPT to clarify the point.
If you want to try something a bit different, ask ChatGPT to explain an idea using a funny analogy or have it write the answer in the style of a rap song.
4. Sketch a Website and ChatGPT Will Build It
Words aren’t the only language ChatGPT can speak; it can also comprehend images and write code. Put these two things together, and it could build you a website based on little more than a sketch. The multi-modal capabilities that let you share an image with ChatGPT are available on ChatGPT Plus.

5. Write a Book
Most serious writers would laugh at the idea that anyone might use ChatGPT to help write something like a book—and rightly so. We don’t truly want to read books written by an AI bot because that would miss the whole point of seeing the world through another person’s view.
But ChatGPT can be used to aid the writing process in plenty of ways:
It just takes a little imagination to think about how ChatGPT could push you to finish that story you’ve been working on for ages. These things already exist in separate tools—as apps, plugins, or websites—but ChatGPT combines all these things in one location.
This is just the start. One thing we tried, for example, was feeding a book summary to ChatGPT and asking it to put the major plot points into a table alongside their descriptions. you could do this for your own writing as a way to organize your ideas. Something that could have easily taken an hour was completed in mere seconds.
6. Compose a Message
Emailing a landlord or asking a boss for time off work can be difficult, but with ChatGPT on your side, you will always know how to arrange your words professionally. ChatGPT can review your email and make suggestions for improvements or rewrite something in a different tone, e.g., professional, casual, friendly, direct.

7. A Safe Space to Vent
When life gets you down, it can be helpful to talk to someone. While it’s not always possible to share your thoughts with friends or family, you can vent to ChatGPT.
Treat it like writing in a journal. Use it to scribble down your feelings or perhaps more constructively to explore a problem that is causing you stress. Sometimes, all we need is to feel like someone is listening.
As always, make sure to keep things anonymous. The number one rule ofprotecting yourself in the era of AIis not to share sensitive information with a chatbot.
8. Style Suggestions
With everything ChatGPT has absorbed about the history of fashion, it can be a surprisingly good place to look for style advice. What works with loafers? How can I dress up a pair of jeans? What classic pieces of clothing should every woman have in the closet? You can expand your questioning to colors, textures, fabrics, accessories, and more.
9. Cooking With ChefGPT
As we’ve discovered, people are taking ChatGPT into the kitchen too. You can find tutorials for how to meal prep with ChatGPT and examples of people taking pictures of the food in their refrigerator and getting recipe suggestions from ChatGPT in return.
If you’re on the free version of ChatGPT, you won’t have the image function, so you will have to manually enter the ingredients you have on hand. That aside, there are plenty of other things you can try, too, like asking for meal ideas based on cost, calories, seasonal produce, or serving size.
10. Children’s Storyteller
ChatGPT can pass as a fairly decent storyteller, one that your children might get a lot of fun from! You can use it to cast real-life people as characters in your kids' story or generate a story involving your kids' favorite toy. They’ll get a kick out of hearing a bedtime story that seems unique to their lives.
