Unlike GPT-3, ChatGPT was released to the entire internet. Here are a few examples of creative uses:

• To get therapy: ChatGPT provides generally good advice when asked personal questions. We tried queries like "I am overly critical of others and that makes me sad", or "Is being in the moment really that important? What's wrong with planning ahead?" and the answers were very good, considering they were free and instantaneous.



• To do your homework: We don't really condone this behavior, but ChatGPT can solve basic math problems. We tried examples such as "My sister was half my age when I was 10. Now I am 39, how old is my sister ?" and it got the answer and explanation right. It got the same answer wrong a few minutes later, but we weren't able to reproduce the behavior.



• To write movie or book scripts: We tried generating movie scripts and received results of varying quality. It seemed the AI performed better if it recognized the context. For example: "Can you write me synopsis for a thriller movie that takes place on an oil rig. It should involve a storm and a great white shark".



• To write code: The implications of this one still blows our minds. We tested the example "Can you write a basic Python function that tests for palindromes in a sentence?" and it got it right for the sentence as a whole. When we were more explicit in broadening the definition, it got the answer wrong (in a very confident way). It's also able to explain code, which would make it invaluable to reverse engineer documentation from legacy systems.



• For advertisement and marketing: Short stories and slogans seem to be one of ChatGPT's fortes. If we were working in a marketing agency, we'd definitely be tapping into its creativity if only to get new ideas. Try examples such as "Can you write a brutally honest slogan for a luxury watch brand? It should be funny too".

As a final comment, throughout our experiments, we did notice that ChatGPT makes some mistakes. These are hard to identify as (i) there aren't many of them and (ii) ChatGPT is able to formulate sketchy responses into fluent and self-confident answers. So this is not an AI that you should blindly trust.

We recommend to everyone to try ChatGPT: explore new interactions and tell us about your exciting dialogues. And also take a step back to marvel at the breadth of different queries that this AI can respond to.
