Ten Creative Uses for ChatGPT
Have you heard of ChatGPT? I could tell you about what it is, or I could let it tell you itself. I asked ChatGPT to write an intro paragraph to this article explaining what it is. Here is what it said:
ChatGPT is a cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology developed by OpenAI. It is a variant of the well-known GPT language model, trained to generate human-like text in response to user input. ChatGPT is designed to understand and engage in natural language conversation with humans, making it a powerful tool for tasks such as customer service, language translation, and content generation. While it was originally developed for tasks such as customer service and language translation, ChatGPT has the potential to be used in a wide range of creative applications. In this article, we will explore some of the innovative ways that ChatGPT is being used to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI. From generating original poetry and fiction to creating personalized music and art, ChatGPT is proving to be a versatile and highly creative tool.
I couldn’t have said it better myself! I mean, I probably could, but ChatGPT wrote this in under 10 seconds, and I definitely couldn’t have done that.
Writing components to articles and essays according to the prompts you give it doesn’t even begin to cover the creative and helpful uses for ChatGPT. The uses are endless— from help with creative projects to telling jokes and even mental health advice; there are so many creative things you can use ChatGPT for in your everyday life. We’ve compiled 10 of the most fun and creative things you can use ChatGPT for after testing it ourselves.
1- Write poetry on any topic in the style of your favorite poet.
You can think of any object, person, or idea and ask this AI to write you a poem about it. Even better, you can suggest specific poets for the tool to pull inspiration from! For our example shown below, we thought of some silly ideas and asked for poems in the style of both Edgar Allen Poe and Shel Silverstein.
Q: Write a short poem about the ocean turning orange in the style of Poe
A: Sure! Here's a short poem in the style of Edgar Allan Poe:
“The Ocean's Orange hue”
The ocean's waves, once blue and clear,
Now swirl with orange hue.
A sight most strange and eerie,
To see the water turn this hue.
What foul and wicked magic
Could bring about this change?
The sea, a symbol of life's endless depths,
Now looks like death's own range.
The creatures who call the ocean home
Are nowhere to be found.
They flee the toxic water,
Leaving not a single sound.
The orange ocean stands alone,
A warning of what's to come.
If we don't change our ways,
Our world will meet its doom.
Q: Write a poem about a rotten apple in the style of Shel Silverstein
A: Sure! Here's a poem I came up with:
“Rotten Apple”"
I once was a plump, red apple,
Hanging high on the tree.
But now I'm a sorry sight,
As you can plainly see.
My skin is all wrinkled and bumpy,
My insides are soft and brown.
I'm not fit for a tasty snack,
I'm just a rotten old clown.
But don't feel too bad for me,
I had my time in the sun.
Now I get to fertilize the earth,
And my life's work is done.
So here I lay, on the ground,
A forgotten, moldy sight.
But don't forget old Rotten Apple,
I once was a delicious delight.
2- Create Fun facts about anything
You can ask ChatGPT for fun facts on just about any topic! For the sake of example, we’re sticking to creativity today since this is all about just how creative you can get using this AI. You can be as general or specific as you like. In our examples below, we asked not only about creativity in general but also about creative thinking while high. ChatGPT shared some interesting knowledge and slipped in some good advice.
Q: Tell me a fun fact about creative thinking while high
A: There is some evidence to suggest that using certain drugs, such as marijuana, can alter the brain's chemistry in a way that allows people to have more creative thoughts.
However, it is important to note that the use of drugs is not a necessary or healthy way to stimulate creativity and can have negative consequences on both physical and mental health. Additionally, the effects of drugs on creativity can vary widely from person to person and may not necessarily lead to increased creative output or better-quality ideas.
It is always important to use caution and to make informed decisions about drug use.
Q: Tell me a fun fact about what makes humans creative
A: One interesting aspect of human creativity is that it often involves the ability to make connections between seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts. This process, known as "associative thinking" allows us to draw connections between things that might not initially seem related and come up with novel ideas as a result. For example, if you were trying to come up with a new way to design a chair, you might draw inspiration from the shape of a tree branch or the way a bird's wings are constructed. By making these kinds of connections, we can often come up with creative solutions to problems that might not have been obvious at first.
Q: tell me a fun fact about creativity
A: Here's a fun fact about creativity: research has shown that people are more likely to have creative ideas when they are in a good mood. This is because being in a positive mood can help to relax the brain and increase the likelihood of having creative thoughts. So next time you're feeling stuck and need to come up with a creative solution to a problem, try doing something that puts you in a good mood, like listening to music or going for a walk, and see if it helps to boost your creativity!
3- Finding Entertainment
The days of scrolling endlessly looking for which show or movie to watch, are over! Be as general or as specific as you’d like, and ask ChatGPT to recommend you what you’re looking for. In our examples below, we asked for certain genres, shows that are still airing, movies made in a specific year, and even specific streaming platforms. This use of the tool can be super helpful and could even lead to the discovery of your next favorite show or movie!
Q: Suggest a comedic animated adult series that is still airing for me to watch
A: One comedic animated adult series that is still airing and that you might enjoy is "Rick and Morty." The show follows the adventures of an eccentric and alcoholic scientist named

Q: Suggest a crime thriller drama movie for me to watch that came out in 1985
A: One crime thriller drama movie that was released in 1985 that you might enjoy is "The Color of Money." The film stars Paul Newman and Tom Cruise, and follows the story of an up-and-coming pool player who seeks out a mentor, played by Newman, to help him become a champion. The film was a commercial and critical success, and won several awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actor for Newman.
Q: Suggest a dystopian show for me to watch on Netflix with more than one season
A: One dystopian show on Netflix with more than one season that you might enjoy is "The Handmaid's Tale." Based on the novel by Margaret Atwood, the show takes place in a near-future society where the government has been overthrown by a religious group that oppresses women and treats them as property. The story follows one woman's journey as she tries to survive in this new world and fight against the oppressive regime. The show has received critical acclaim for its acting, writing, and production values, and has won numerous awards. It has three seasons available to stream on Netflix.
4- Plotting your own movie/tv show
Do you ever have an inkling of an idea for something that you want to write but are not sure how to fill out the plot? ChatGPT can help with that, too. An open-ended simple prompt asking for a specific genre or even an idea where you have characters and an idea for a plot but haven’t got the details down yet can be generated all by asking our AI friend for some help. BTW feel free to write these shows, I would love to watch them.

No more wars, no more fights
We can coexist, it's not hard
All we need is love and understanding
To make this world a work of art

We can make this dream a reality
If we choose love over fate
Q: Write a song about the rain and the ocean

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
But don't you leave the ocean
I need her constant motion
To wash my troubles away
6- Write a joke about any three things you can think of that walk into a bar.
Get really silly with it! Some of them work better than others, but you can pretty much input anything— animate or inanimate, sentient or not. Which one is your favorite of our jokes?
Q: Write a joke about a rocket scientist, a psychiatrist, and an intelligent monkey walking into a bar
A: A rocket scientist, a psychiatrist, and an intelligent monkey walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "What is this, some kind of joke?" The rocket scientist replies,
"No, we're just discussing the merits of interplanetary travel and the complexities of the human psyche." The psychiatrist adds, "And I'm trying to figure out if this monkey is a patient or a colleague." The monkey just smiles and orders a banana daiquiri.
Q: Write a joke about a scientist, a truck driver, and a miniature pony that walk into a bar
A: A scientist, a truck driver, and a miniature pony walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "What is this, some kind of joke?" The scientist replies, "No, we're just conducting an experiment on the effects of alcohol on diverse professions." The truck driver adds, "And we needed a designated driver." The miniature pony chimes in, "And I wanted to see if I could fit under the bar stools."
Q: Write a joke about a vacuum, a mouse, and a koala walking into a bar
A: A vacuum, a mouse, and a koala walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says,
"What is this, some kind of joke?" The mouse replies, "No, we're just cleaning up."
7- Debug and write code
Let’s say you wanted to make a website so stupid that it’s just eyes following your mouse around a screen, but you don’t know how to code. As you can see below, ChatGPT can do that and so much more! If you input your own codes that aren’t working, ChatGPT can also debug them for you in real time.
Q: Write a code for a website that has eyes that follow your mouse wherever you put it on the screen
A: Here's a code that you can use to create a website with eyes that follow the mouse cursor wherever it goes on the screen:
«style>
.eye {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: white;
border-radius: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
.pupil {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background-color: black;
border-radius: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
<div class="eye" id="eye-left"> <div class="pupil" id="pupil-left"></div> puptilert.style.lert=event.clienta-
15
eyeRight.style.top = (event.clienty - 25) + "px";
eyeRight.style.left = (event.clientx + 25) + "px";
pupilRight.style.top = (event.clientY - 15) + "px";
pupilRight.style.left - (event.clientx + 15) + "px";
}
</script>
document. addEventListener ("mousemove", followMouse);
This code uses CSS to style the eyes and pupils as circular div elements, and JavaScript to undate the position of the eves and pupils based on the mouse cursor's position on the screen. The eyes and pupils will follow the mouse wherever it goes!
Note: This code will work best if you wrap it in a container element with a fixed position, so that the eyes and pupils stay on the screen as the user scrolls.
8- Get help composing messages for your dating app matches
Dating apps can be tricky. If you’re nervous about responding to your potential new date, you can let ChatGPT know what they said, and get some options of ways you can respond to hopefully lead to further conversation. Who knew robots could be so romantic?
