AI experiencing the moment. It's hard to escape ChatGPT entering your conversations, whether you are in a cafe or club. Although it is important not to view him as a god-like being with higher powersIt's also not good to bury your head in the sand.
You should play with the AI to see its capabilities and limitations. Be curious, experiment and have fun with it. Eat some things you definitely shouldn't use ChatGPT forsuch as health diagnostics and legal decision making, but there are many tasks and cases for which it is great.
ChatGPT is not alone. You can also use other chatbots like Google for these tasks TwinsAnthropic Claude And Confusion. And since AI has a tendency hallucinate answers, jump to the wrong conclusions, or make things up completely, always double-check and use common sense whenever he gives you information.
Here are nine of the best purposes for which you can use AI chatbots.
(Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET's parent company, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in April, alleging that it violated Ziff Davis' copyrights in the training and operation of its artificial intelligence systems.)
1. Advanced search engine
I heard somewhere that millennials use ChatGPT as a search engine, while Gen Z uses it more as a “life advisor.” I show my age here, but I like to use it as a search engine for steroids.
It is very convenient to be able to find out a specific topic from one information interface. I use it for both quick answers to questions and in-depth case studies.

2. Beauty and style tips
It's fun. If you're stuck on which lipstick suits your skin tone, which one… haircut best suited for your face shape or how to accessorize an outfit, ask ChatGPT.
You can upload a selfie and ask him for beauty advice or even how will you grow old (and what you can do about it). Ask who your double.
3. Menu planning
You can tell ChatGPT what's in your refrigerator and pantry, and it make a menu. This is a good little trick in this economy, especially as the holiday season approaches and when your the refrigerator is full of leftover food.
You can also do other fun things like take a photo of the restaurant menu and ask for the best wine pairing unless your server beats you to it.

4. Room redesign
Whenever I try to create a cool art design in AIit always fails. But by uploading a photo and asking for it redo the room? Nails it.
I told ChatGPT about the problems I was having with the space and what I had in mind for it, and then it “redesigned” it in seconds.

5. Looking for a job
We all know how terrible the job market is right now, so you should definitely use AI if you're in the market for a job.

6. Research people
If you are preparing for interviewwhether talking to a potential client, meeting someone at a networking event, going on a date, or trying to find an actor while watching TV, ChatGPT is a great way to find them. If I have a call coming up, I usually ask ChatGPT to “tell me everything I need to know about this person and their background.”
It can also help to find contact information, but always check the facts and be respectful. For example, I asked ChatGPT who someone was and within seconds they gave me a name and email address.
7. Technical problems
We're all surrounded by a lot of technology, but not all of us have a handy spouse or tech support to call. I've contacted ChatGPT with issues such as missing meeting recordings or storage issues on my computer. MacBooksetting up YouTube on mine TVIs mine constantly humming? fridge needs to be fixed.

ChatGPT can be useful, especially in direction research. I haven't had much luck using it find cheap flightsbut it's great to ask about certain areas, where to stay, the best time to visit, route planning and get travel tips.
9. (Some) personal advice
ChatGPT is a great intelligence partner, but be wary of its people-pleasing tendencies. He will agree with you unless you tell him not to. Besides, chatbots have nothing to do with your best friend or partner who In fact know what is good for you.
But if you keep this in mind, it is a handy “life advisor.” You can discuss a problem you're having, role-play with her, ask for advice, plan for career development, ask her to reveal the tone of the message, and use her as a guide when going through something. In my case, I relied on it while I was I'm going through the first stage of IVF.
A word of warning: ChatGPT uses a predictive model, so its “advice” is based on what you've told it previously. He won't “think” outside the box, so confirmation bias is a concern.
