Since its public launch, people have been using AI bots to help them create various projects, and here\u2019 you\u2019ll find a collection of ChatGPT examples that show you what the tool can be used to do.<\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t expect much from this list to blow you away. ChatGPT-4 may have now launched<\/a>, bringing major updates to OpenAI\u2019s creation\u2019s abilities, but the AI is still in its relative infancy and is prone to making mistakes. It\u2019s also not great at being original \u2013 with many of examples of ChatGPT\u2019s work merely being poor copies of existing art (which makes sense when you consider how large language models work).<\/p>\n

1. Making games \u2013 Sumplete<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the coolest things we\u2019ve seen someone create using ChatGPT<\/a> is a whole game that you can actually play online right now<\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span>. It\u2019s called Sumplete and it\u2019s a sort of hybrid of sudoku and picross.<\/p>\n

Sumplete has you eliminate numbers in a grid so that the rows and columns add up to (or sum to) target figures. At lower levels, the grid is quite small and the puzzles aren\u2019t too challenging, but at the highest Master level you won\u2019t just have to deal with a nine-by-nine grid but one that\u2019s full of positive and negative numbers \u2013 which makes finding the correct answer a proper puzzle.<\/p>\n

Plus, this Wordle rival is particularly interesting as it was created in \u201cjust a few hours by ChatGPT\u201d \u2013 with some help from human prompter and programmer Daniel Tait<\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span>. Not only did the chatbot pitch the idea, but it helped to code Sumplete as well. That said, while Tait plays down his involvement based on our own efforts trying to make a game in ChatGPT<\/a> it likely involved a lot of talent on his part \u2013 to not only understand the code (and what needed fixing) but also how to phrase prompts to get the right answer.<\/p>\n

So while you can have a go at making a game in ChatGPT yourself, don\u2019t expect to make a Wordle-rival like Sumplete<\/a> on your first try \u2013 or even on your 100th.<\/p>\n

2. Writing letters \u2013 get parking fines reduced<\/span><\/h3>\n

If parking companies are going to send us automated letters telling us we have to pay a fine, why shouldn\u2019t we leverage AI to send automated arguments back to help us try and reduce how much we\u2019re charged \u2013 or even get out of paying completely?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the thought that\u2019s crossed several people\u2019s minds, with them turning to ChatGPT to help them challenge fines and save money. Millie Houlton, a student in the UK, reportedly used ChatGPT to send a letter to York City Council<\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span> which convinced them to withdraw a fine of \u00a360 (around $75 \/ AU$112), and Shaun Bosley, a UK motorist, used ChatGPT help him reduce a fine for stopping at Gatwick Airport<\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span> from \u00a3100 to \u00a315 (around $125 to $19 \/ AU$186 to AU$28).<\/p>\n

Copying this ChatGPT example won\u2019t always help you save money \u2013 especially if you don\u2019t double-check that its writing hasn’t strayed into gibberish \u2013 \u00a0but considering how quick and easy it is to get the chatbot to produce the letter for you it\u2019s probably worth giving it a try. Worst case you have to pay the fine anyway, but at least you didn\u2019t waste much of your own time fighting it.<\/p>\n

3. Writing a TV show \u2013 Nothing, Forever<\/span><\/h3>\n

ChatGPT can be a pretty helpful writing buddy by helping to pitch story prompts, edit your work and even tell you the tone of your writing. But ChatGPT can take things one step further by just doing the writing for you.<\/p>\n

BBC Click presenter, Lara Lewington used ChatGPT to help pen a documentary<\/a> where she outlines how AI could transform our daily lives \u2013 and the issues AI has that are holding it back. While at the other end of the spectrum, you have \u2018TV shows\u2019 like Nothing, Forever<\/em><\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span>, an AI-written parody of Seinfeld<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Nothing, Forever<\/em> serves as a great warning for why you might want to think twice about relying on an AI writer. While the show\u2019s segments and jokes may mimic Seinfeld’s<\/em> humor the often nonsense combination of words and inconsistent setups and punchlines help the show avoid being funny and instead see it stray into absurd territory. Additionally, the show has already been banned on Twitch once after it produced a segment that was transphobic and homophobic \u2013 an accident the creators apologized for and blamed on them briefly switching to an alternative writer chatbot after ChatGPT suffered from outages. AI can\u2019t think critically and their writing will be easily manipulated by any biases in their data set, so make sure you carefully vet and edit anything an AI produces before you release it into the world.<\/p>\n

4. Finding obscure movie references<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are reasons for and against using AI chatbots as search engines, but one advantage they do have is that they can have a much better go at piecing together partial information to find what you\u2019re after. This can be super helpful if you remember snippets of a film scene, the odd line of a song, or some other slightly obscure but specific detail that isn\u2019t the name of the thing you want to recall.<\/p>\n

Case in point, if you use Google to search for \u201cWhat’s the film in which the main character trains with a small green alien in a swamp\u201d the first film recommendation hidden among the mish-mash of results is Labou \u2013 a 2008 flick about kids looking for treasure in the Louisiana bayou. There\u2019s a swamp sure, and weird creatures but that\u2019s not the film I\u2019m thinking of.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Posing the same question to ChatGPT instead gets it to predict the film I\u2019m thinking of is Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back<\/em> \u2013 which it was. That said we did have to have a couple of goes and make the prompt more specific \u2013 when we originally asked ChatGPT for a \u201cfilm in which the main character is trained by an alien\u201d it pitched Lilo & Stitch <\/em>the 2002 animated Disney film.<\/p>\n

5. Pumping out book after book<\/span><\/h3>\n

ChatGPT isn\u2019t just versed in the world of film, it can also produce books too \u2013 and the Kindle store is already being flooded with hundreds of books produced by AI<\/a>. This influx of robot authors is partly due to Amazon\u2019s simple self-publishing service, which has yet to address the use of AI or ChatGPT in its publishing guidelines<\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Creating books this way may seem harmless \u2013 and a helpful way to finally get that idea that\u2019s been floating around in your head into a finished product \u2013 but AI books are already facing a fair few controversies.<\/p>\n

\n

Firstly there\u2019s the issue of ownership. Some would argue that the prompter owns the book, others would say it\u2019s OpenAI as it created ChatGPT, and a third group argues that no one owns the book \u2013 citing a 2016 ruling that decided no one owns the selfie taken by Naruto the crested macaque<\/a>, which decided non-human made works immediately enter the public domain. Additionally, the AI isn\u2019t really creating anything just using the prompt and borrowing ideas from similar works it’s been trained on \u2013 so a fourth group might argue the AI-made book belongs to the authors ChatGPT copied.<\/p>\n

This ChatGPT example also runs up against another issue: AI books typically aren\u2019t that good. Unless a human goes over it to fix any errors the novel will likely be full of nonsense and cliches that can make for a rather lackluster read.<\/p>\n

6. Writing song lyrics \u2013 robot Nick Cave <\/span><\/h3>\n

Another writing example, you can also use ChatGPT to help you pen songs inspired by your favorite musicians. Though, as with the above examples the results are mixed at best. Case in point, one person asked ChatGPT to generate a new song in the style of Nick Cave<\/a> (opens in new tab)<\/span>, and in the human Nick Cage\u2019s opinion it \u201csucks,\u201d calling it a \u201cgrotesque mockery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song includes lyrics such as \u201cI\u2019ve got the blood of angels, on my hands, I\u2019ve got the fire of hell, in my eyes, I\u2019m the king of the abyss, I\u2019m the ruler of the dark, I\u2019m the one that they fear, in the shadows they hark.\u201d The song definitely follows Cave\u2019s use of typically dark religious imagery, though, in Cave\u2019s eyes, it lacks the \u201cauthentic human experience\u201d that fuels good creative endeavors.<\/p>\n

7. Plan your dream vacation \u2013 book a trip to Paris<\/span><\/h3>\n

ChatGPT isn\u2019t just useful for writing, thanks to its list of compatible plugins you can also use it to perform tasks like planning your dream vacation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We had a try at using Expedia\u2019s ChatGPT integration<\/a> to organize a trip to Paris, but you can try very similar features in ChatGPT itself. Using the Expedia or Kayak plugins you can get holiday destination ideas, find flights that suit your needs, source potential hotel options, and even find activities to do while you\u2019re away. The tool\u2019s pretty neat, and we wre pretty bummed out when we realized we weren\u2019t actually going on the fake trip we planned using the tool.<\/p>\n

Though if you\u2019re relying on this ChatGPT example to actually book a trip away, you could also try out the Speak plugin which is described as an \u201cAI-powered language tutor.\u201d That way when you arrive at your destination you can try your best to speak the local language, or at least know some basic phrases to help you get by when you can\u2019t access an online tool like Google Translate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
