8 Surprising Things You Can Do With ChatGPT

Generate Product and Company Name Suggestions

Brainstorming ideas for your great idea? We told ChatGPT we were launching a company specializing in hardware that translates dog barks into English and asked for a list of potential brand names.

It certainly didn’t disappoint and gave us a list of 15 suggestions with some solid picks like BarkSpeak, DogTalk, and our favorite, DogLingo.

Compose Song Lyrics and Poetry

Asking ChatGPT to write a song for you or write a poem is pretty hit or miss at this point. We asked it to write a write a song about a dog tasked with colonizing mars, and the results were actually pretty good. With a little modification, it could easily be the theme song lyrics to a children’s show or even turned into a picture book for kids.

On the other hand, when we asked for a poem about a dog who builds a submarine to explore the ocean and befriend dolphins it was a bit all over the place and even started with the dog already living in the ocean like a squid.

You can even ask ChatGPT to include guitar tablature for the song, but your mileage will probably vary wildly in such endeavors.

Plan a Party or Event

Need some inspiration for a party? We asked ChatGPT to help us come up with a list of activities for a 10-year-old’s Minecraft-themed birthday party, and it delivered a solid list.

As a long-time Minecraft fan and kid at heart, I’m fairly confident I could have come up with these ideas on my own but imagine for a moment I knew my child loved Minecraft but was drawing a blank on party activity ideas.

And better yet, let’s say you used this prompt, and as a parent who didn’t play Minecraft, you were left with the question, “But what’s Redstone Engineering?” Just continue the conversation with ChatGPT and ask.

It will describe what redstone dust is, how it functions in the Minecraft world like electrical wiring functions in ours, and what players use it for—preparing you to better implement a party activity based on it. Speaking of kids and Minecraft, here’s how to set up a Minecraft server for them to play on.

Generate a Prompt for AI Art

Struggling to fine-tune your AI art prompt skills? If you ask ChatGPT to help, it will flesh out your description with useful keywords.

We asked it to help us make a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild-inspired image in the style of Pablo Picasso, and it gave us this detailed prompt to use with Dall-E.

We plugged that prompt into Dall-E, and it created the following image set:

We’re calling it now. The character in image #2 will appear in a future Zelda game. If you’re playing around with Dall-E more and want to hone your skills without ChatGPT helping with your prompts, check out our Dall-E tips to get better results. Maybe you’ll even end up hanging some AI art in your home.
