I’ll offer some specifics, but before I do, I want to say the potential use and viability of ChatGPT is really only limited by the openness of your approach to it and your creativity.

• You can bounce x, y or z idea off it and just flesh out stuff around it. That makes it great for brainstorming or just working stuff out

• It can code for you and even help non-coders be able to code. From adding a multi-colored rotating 3d prism to a landing page to a web-scrapper to pull lead data for outbound marketing or sales (and so much more). Generate code for APIs

• Error check code

• Summarize articles or even meeting transcripts into succinct and quick bullet points

• It will break down complex concepts and / or high-level technical information into super usable blocks

• I tend to use too many words to write emails and other junk and I can have it tighten it up in two seconds. Boom. Done

• Paragraphs to bullet points or vice versa

• Change complexity level of script. Or change the tone or temperature, etc….

• Change writing from third or first person or vice versa

• Compose simple to super complex Excel formulas. Create VBA in Excel and work on pivot tables. Create macros

• Create complex workflows

• Help write contracts

• Generate recipes based on stuff you have in your house or recipes based on what you want

• You can give it a bunch of data and it will give you a slide deck and layout and even suggest images. A guy even wrote some Python code to make this even easier

• It can translate languages, including coding language from one to another

• Essentially can act as a personal tutor for a number of subjects and classes

• Create a meal plan and generate accompanying recipe lists

• Can generate prompts for all kinds of art

• Can help research for you for a novel or non-fiction or paper or essay or whatever

• You can give it a detailed outline of things important to you and such and then ask it to generate names for a business or YouTube channel or whatever. Or generate a title for something, etc…

• It can recommend books or readings based on niche interests

• Fix resume or write a sector specific cover letter

• Can help with marketing efforts for business. Help wrote social media posts or blogs or whatever. Yeah, edit and know what you are putting out, but it absolutely saves time

• Format and check or generate copy for websites or landing pages

• Guest speaker or panel Questions and Answers

• Help with anxiety or even loneliness

• Discussing fitness and health

• Could prepare you for an interview

• Gift ideas after a detailed description of a person

• Keyword research for SEO or other applications. Other SEO optimization

• Rephrasing

• Generate FAQs based on content

• Write product descriptions

• Write job descriptions and job offers

• Can help you learn a language

• Could generate your own website without knowing anything about web design - would take time and patience, but it’s super doable

• Interesting for philosophy

• Could give it some inputs and then ask it to generate ideas on how to convey something in your head visually for content on YouTube or whatever. This is a massive help if you approach it right

And a lot more. This is nowhere near exhaustive.

It’s good for brainstorming creative ideas. Titles, characters, descriptions, plot ideas etc.

As a fiction writer I use it a lot, but not for finished prose.

For software engineering it’s good at creating simple code or debugging code. It suckssss at non-simple coding. But basic stuff like “write Python code that encrypts a message using RSA” is really cool

People say it’s going to take over jobs when it can still be unreliable is baffling to me. I typed “87” out of boredom and it said it was a prime number that could be added by two other prime numbers which are 83 and 3. Very fucking wrong
