People are using ChatGPT for much more than writing and research — these are the 7 ideas I want to steal
Bored of ChatGPT? I went hunting through Reddit for the most useful, creative and unexpected ways people are actually using it.
Here are seven unconventional ways people are using ChatGPT, beyond the typical writing, brainstorming, and summarizing:
1. Decluttering and organizing: One user shared how they use ChatGPT to organize and declutter their junk drawer by simply taking a photo of the contents and asking the AI to identify what everything is and how to sort it. The AI even provided color-coded notes to help with the sorting process.
2. Talking yourself out of purchases: Some users use ChatGPT to talk them out of buying expensive items. They upload a potential purchase and ask the AI to make a strong case for why they shouldn't buy it. The AI analyzes the price, existing possessions, intended benefits, and alternatives, offering a well-reasoned perspective to reconsider the purchase.
3. Streamlining skincare routines: ChatGPT can help users analyze their skincare products by listing all the items they own and asking the AI to compare and cross-reference ingredients. This allows users to identify overlaps, determine if they need additional products, and make informed decisions about their skincare routine while saving time and money.
