There are all kinds of fun and cool things to do with ChatGPT that you probably haven’t thought of yet. I’m here to help you find new ways to explore the greatest tool ever made (ChatGPT). Not only that, I’m here to teach myself new ways to use the tool to have more fun. So, this was kind of a selfish article. Don’t worry, you’ll get over it once you experience all the cool stuff I give to you here.
We’ve already provided you with all kinds of funny things to ask ChatGPT a few months ago. It’s our 38th most popular post (out of 61 total posts) now according to our analytics. Therefore, if you haven’t already read it, go do that soon.
Back to the topic, however. Have you ever mindlessly gazed into ChatGPT and wondered: “How could this possibly be fun, cool, or exciting?” That’s where we come in. Let’s begin.
1. Play Cool Word Games with GPT
Word games aren’t just for grandmothers anymore. They’re perfect for anyone feeling a little bored and looking for a bit of fun. Luckily, ChatGPT is here to grant your wish for engaging word games, all for free.
Prompt: “Let’s play a game of Wordle. Give me a 5-letter word and I’ll try to guess it in 6 tries.”
Prompt: “Start a game of Ghost (the word-building game). I’ll go first: A”

2. Fun Creative Writing Exercises
Let’s get creative. Expand the right side of your brain and watch what leaks out the other side.

3. Analyze TV Shows & Movies with ChatGPT

4. ChatGPT: The Endless Recommendation Engine
Don’t trust a recommendation from a friend, coworker, or family member. They don’t know anything, and they usually just want to waste your time with bad recommendations.
Trust recommendations coming from an algorithm that has ingested the entirety of the internet instead, okay?
On a serious note, yeah. Give these prompts a try.

6. Fun Trivia/Quizzes Courtesy of ChatGPT
ChatGPT can become an endless quiz game for you on whatever topic you’d like. Even cringe pop culture.

7. Play Cool Text-Based Games
A lot of people don’t know this, but ChatGPT can generate text-based games instantly and on-demand.
