ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI, has been the talk of the internet for some months now. The best part about this AI tool is that it is useful for people of different professions, various fields, and in all walks of life. Are you lost with the ChatGPT wave, or not sure what exactly it does? In this article, we go through some cool things you can do with ChatGPT as a business owner, marketer, or individual.

What is ChatGPT?

One can compare ChatGPT to a Google Search, but it’s way more than that in the sense that the AI tool presents information in a conversational tone. Also, ChatGPT answers questions like a human being and provides answers to different topics, including mathematics, sports, movies, politics, and religion. However, the tool will emphasise that it doesn’t have a religious belief.

ChatGPT is a conversation AI tool or chatbot designed to handle odd, technical, and concrete requests. It leverages natural language processing (NLP) to parse verbal input and generate human-like responses.

Cool Things You Can Do With ChatGPT

You probably already know that ChatGPT is majorly used as a search engine based on its knowledge of different topics. One of the most remarkable things about ChatGPT as a search engine is that it provides direct answers instead of sharing links. You can also ask it questions, request clarifications, and converse with it like a human. Meanwhile, ChatCPT is more than a search engine, it’s capable of many great things that will benefit you as an individual or business owner. 

Here are some of the many things you can do with ChatGPT: 

1: Content Creation

One of the popular benefits of ChatGPT is that you can use it to generate content for your blog, website, and other platforms. ChatGPT can save you significant time with your content creation process by helping you develop content on different topics or keywords.  This AI tool was trained with billions of texts and can help you create short-form and long-form articles as long as you provide clear instructions and specifications. You can give the AI tool clear instructions and goals like; 

“Write a blog post of no more than 500 words about the benefits of Cervical Cancer screening. Use a story to persuade the readers and end it with a Call to Action, convincing them to schedule an appointment today.”

Another cool thing about ChatGPT is that you can create content in multiple languages. You can ask the tool to provide answers in different languages you want or translate text from one language to another.

Meanwhile, it’s important to note that AI-generated content has been subjected to criticism. They are said to sound robot-like, lack personalisation, and are sometimes guilty of plagiarism. There are also reports that ChatGPT provides explanations that are not correct, so you must be careful of this when using it for authoritative content for your audience. 

A better way to use ChatGPT for your content is by having it brainstorm topic ideas or blog post ideas while you work on researching them. Also, if you need an outline for a topic and have issues figuring out a topic for your blog post, you can seek out ChatGPT. 

2. Understand Things

Whether you need advice on being a better business owner or explanations about specific topics, you can turn to ChatGPT to explain it. Also, if you want to learn about complex topics in simple and digestible answers, you can ask ChatGPT to explain like you’re 5. This option helps the AI tool explain complex issues in layman’s terms. Furthermore, you can tell ChatGPT to explain things to you following a certain flair, like the example below:

3. Automate Simple Tasks

You can have ChatGPT take care of some of your routine tasks, like scheduling meetings, replying to emails, and reminders about deadlines. This can make things easier for you as a busy person or business owner because you can stay on top of your tasks and automate your workflow. Also, you can train the AI tool to respond to your emails, social media comments and reviews. 

4. Get Social Media Content Ideas

So you are planning a content calendar schedule and can’t figure out what to do next? ChatGPT can suggest social media content ideas you can post. To do this, you need to properly explain your industry and type of business so that the tool can generate relevant ideas. Also, you can use ChatGPT to create social media posts and threads that will resonate with your target audience. This tool is loaded with a lot of data from Twitter and other social media and can easily phrase relatable content. 

5. Generate Email Templates

Whether you want to send a cover letter, a newsletter, or take leave permission, you can do it easier with ChatGPT. All you need to do is to provide the details you need for the email, and ChatGPT can generate something you can re-edit and send. 

6. Debug Code

Another cool thing you can do with ChatGPT is debug code. As a programmer, you can ask ChatGPT to look through your code for bugs or security vulnerabilities. It will help you spot the bug, tell you what it is and show you how to fix it in simple language. Isn’t that cool?

In addition, ChatGPT has the capacity to generate simple and complex codes itself. The AI tool has some coding knowledge in languages like Python and JavaScript. Meanwhile, you should note that it works with existing codes available, so if you want something new, ChatGPT is not your guy. 

7. Keyword Research

Content and search marketers can leverage ChatGPT to identify and research relevant keywords for SEO content and campaigns. You only need to provide ChatGPT with a topic or keyword and ask for keywords with high search volume. You can identify different types and variations of keywords, including long tail keywords, questions, related terms, and competitor’s keywords. 

8. Create Logos

ChatGPT is a search solution, not a designer, but it uses it to generate visual elements you can use as logos. All you need to do is to give the AI tool proper instructions to make brand-new or recreate existing ones. In addition, people have found a way to create 3D animations with ChapGPT without any coding experience. You can also use it to generate ideas for company or product names.

9. Play Tic Tac Toe

Overwhelmed by your tasks and need a break? Enjoy some break and adventure by playing Tic tac toe on ChatGPT. 

There is a technique to this, though. 

You first need to make ChatGPT behave like a Linux terminal by asking it to write a code for a terminal-based game of tic tac toe. 

Apart from Tic Tac Toe, you can play games like Dungeons, Dragons, and trivia right in your browser. You can also do other fun things like playing guessing games, asking for movie or book recommendations, seeking party ideas, and completing crossword puzzles. 

Final Note

ChatGPT can do the following as long as you provide clear instructions. Know that the clearer you are with your instruction, the more likely ChatGPT will do what you want.  

Also, it’s essential to know that ChatGPT has its limitations…

One of the criticisms the ChatGPT has received is that it adopts the biases of the texts in which it was trained. Also, the creators of ChatGPT mentioned that the tool may occasionally provide incorrect information and has limited knowledge of the world after 2021. 

Overall, ChatGPT is a great tool, and it’s so great to see that even the people critical of tech are adopting this AI tool that communicates just like humans. So while you note its limitations, open yourself to the fantastic features and functions ChatGPT offers.
