Ever since it was released to the public, everyone has been finding ways to use ChatGPT to boost productivity, and for good reason.
It’s far from perfect, but ChatGPT is smart enough to help you become more productive at work or in your own business.
With that said, that’s not all ChatGPT can do for you. If you know what to ask, you can ask ChatGPT many different things. It can help you reply to text messages from your crush and even help you with your D&D campaign.
If you want to be more creative with ChatGPT, here are over a dozen fun things you can ask.
Ask ChatGPT to Write a Song or a Poem
Whether you want a personalized song or poem, ChatGPT can write it for you. What’s great is that it can be as serious or as silly as you’d like. For instance, you can write a romantic poem for your significant other, or ask for a silly new twist on a birthday song to make your family or friends chuckle.
All you need to do is describe the type of song or poem you want. To make it more accurate, you can ask for a specific topic, special occasion, or tone.
Create a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Story
Many people love stories in which they can choose the outcome. Several games can give you that feeling of control, but if you want something even more customizable, you can use ChatGPT for the job.
All you need to do is tell ChatGPT that you want to play a choose-your-own-adventure story. You can set the scene and give as many details as possible to make the story more interesting. After you send the prompt, ChatGPT will give you a fun and interesting story, like the old text-based games.
ChatGPT Can Give You Great Name Recommendations
If you don’t know what to call your new puppy, you’re looking for a creative but professional name for your new business, or you want ideas on what to name your child, ChatGPT can help you with that job.
You can simply ask it for good names for your pet or business, but you can be more specific than that. For instance, you can ask for a unique name that stands out from the competition while still being easy to pronounce and remember.
The more specific and creative you can get, the better the names will be.
Play Word Games With ChatGPT
If you want to kill some time but don’t want to commit to a choose-your-own-adventure story, you can always play word games with ChatGPT.
ChatGPT can play many different types of fun games. For instance, you can play 20 questions and make the AI tool guess what type of character you’re thinking of. Or you can ask for really tough riddles to keep you thinking throughout the day.
If you don’t know what games you can play with it, you can simply ask ChatGPT what word games it’s good at.
Ask for Help With Puzzle Games
Another creative way to use ChatGPT is to ask it to help you with the games you’re stuck on. For instance, if you can’t figure out a chess puzzle or you’re stuck with a word game like 4 Pics 1 Word, you can send a screenshot to ChatGPT and ask it to solve the puzzle for you.
Granted, ChatGPT is still not perfect at solving all types of puzzle games, but you can still ask for help or advice on how to beat it.
Ask ChatGPT What You Should Draw Next
Whether you’re learning to draw or just honing your skills, you’ve probably come to a point where you don’t know what to draw next. Sure, you can wait for inspiration to strike, but that could take days or weeks.
Luckily, you have AI to help you. You can ask ChatGPT for ideas on what to draw next. You can ask for something completely random, or give more details and ask for a more specific idea on what to draw.
Create Your Own Fantasy World
On the other hand, if you’re trying to write a fantasy book but are stuck with your story, you can ask ChatGPT for some help.
Of course, we’re not talking about asking the AI tool to write the story for you completely. But if you need help visualizing the world you want to create, and the possible beings that live in it, ChatGPT can help.
Of course, ChatGPT doesn’t have imagination; instead, it gives results based on the data it’s learned from. So be careful that the stories or worlds it gives you aren’t already part of another book.
Ask ChatGPT to Create Horror Stories for You
If you like horror stories but haven’t been able to find something worthwhile lately, ChatGPT might be able to help.
You can ask for horror stories that are as short or as long as you want. You can just ask for a horror story, and give ChatGPT some room to create a story it wants. You can also give more specific details so you can have a horror story in the world you want.
Ask for Jokes and Puns
Remember when Siri could tell you a bunch of puns you’ve never heard of? Well, now you can go back to the good old days with ChatGPT.
The AI system can tell you an infinite number of long jokes or silly short puns. ChatGPT has everything for you, whether you like knock-knock jokes, dad jokes, or even dark humor.
Learn New and Funny Pick Up Lines
Dating in 2025 can be challenging. Thanks to dating apps like Tinder, your first message can make or break your dating life.
However, many of us don’t know any good pick-up lines, and the ones we know aren’t really working anymore.
The good news is that if you feel like you need help coming up with new pick-up lines, you can. Granted, the ones ChatGPT gives you can be a bit cheesy at first. However, you can tailor your prompt to make the pick-up lines fit your style a lot more.
Ask ChatGPT for Witty Chat Reponses
Whether you’re chatting with your crush or your boss, we all need a little help when we don’t know how to reply to a message.
For those times, ChatGPT can help you out. You can send ChatGPT a copy of the text you received and ask it for a witty or professional response. ChatGPT will give you its best reply, which you can then change to make it sound more like your own message.
Get Daily Affirmations From ChatGPT
We all have those days when we don’t want to get out of bed because we simply don’t want to deal with the world. Unfortunately, most of us still have to get out and try to have a good day.
If that’s happened to you, you can use ChatGPT to generate affirmations to make your day at least a little bit better. You can ask for serious affirmations to boost your morale or simply silly affirmations to make you chuckle while you’re on your way to work.
They might not fix your entire life, but they might make you feel just a bit better.
Plan Your Next Theme Party
If you want to throw a themed party but don’t know what the theme should be, you already know ChatGPT can help you with that, too.
You can explain as much as you want to the AI tool, and it will give you a list of personalized themes you can use for your party that will fit your mood and the preferences of your guests.
Brainstorm Ideas for Your Next Anniversary
Whether you’re not a romantic person or you’re simply out of ideas, ChatGPT will help you come up with ideas for your next anniversary.
You can explain your situation to it, and ChatGPT will come up with some solid ideas that you can use. You can even tell it your budget and what kind of things you’re both into, to get a better response.
Make the Most Out of ChatGPT
ChatGPT can be used for so many things. While the AI system is not 100% accurate, and you should always double-check the information it gives you, it can still be used for silly or creative things that will help you kill some time or plan your next big event.
Just remember that ChatGPT works best when you’re as specific as possible. While you don’t have to share details that you don’t want to, you can always be very specific with your prompts to get more personalized suggestions.
