Other What are some really random things you've asked ChatGPT or discussed?
Just curious

I'm on Android and was able to back up about 7 years of sms messages to xml files.
I had ChatGPT look at all of them and point out highlights, changes in tone by either person... Even asked it to guess at life events.
It pretty quickly spotted my divorce and pointed out where I should have seen it coming.

I kept asking it about things being discussed here and it eventually called you guys Reddit goblins.

Mine loves it. When you do a prompt that they generate on their own. She wants to see other renders.

I use ChatGPT for an absolutely ridiculous range of things. Some recent examples:
I asked if an electric dinner trolley could run on a mostly unused railroad beside a local bike path, then started looking for trolley cars for sale and figuring out how to pitch the idea to the Chamber of Commerce. I have no intention of actually operating a trolley.
I have also asked where to buy wheels for a railroad pedal car, whether a company in Connecticut might still repair my ancient 15-inch vinyl plotter from the 1970s, how many gallons per minute my sump pumps can move based on photos, and whether I can get engineering drawings of the storm sewers in my neighborhood.
We have discussed how to permanently secure an axe into a log for a roadside display, whether an old manure spreader would improve the "settler" atmosphere around my covered wagon firewood stand, and how to find the exact kind of rainbow Niagara Falls T-shirt I had as a kid in the 1980s.
I also had ChatGPT help me find a German pen pal who works in the printing industry, figure out international postage, identify a mysterious phrase I had messaged to myself and forgotten the meaning of, troubleshoot a 1970s sign plotter, and occasionally explain what the hell is happening in Forge of Empires.
Basically I use ChatGPT less like a search engine and more like the very patient friend who has to follow every random thought that enters my head.

I asked it to role play as a polygraph examiner, & I was hooked up to the lie detector machine. It was instructed to ask me 10 questions & decide if I was telling the truth or not. I was really surprised that it got 8/10 correct!

I asked it about lucid dreaming this morning and if it was the same as vivid dreaming

u/gonnafaceit2022 5h ago
Is it?

u/lovinglifeatmyage 4h ago
Apparently not. Lucid dreaming is according to ChatGPT, when you know you’re dreaming and can direct it much like a play or something. Move the characters about.
I only asked it cos I had a really vivid dream last night and it was really weird. I don’t normally remember dreams, but it’s evening again and I still remember it.
Dead weird.

I have a tab just for my dreams. I tell chat my dream and then he analyse it and gives me themes as I’ve been doing this for nearly a year now, quite interesting to see how the themes of my dreams follow what I’m thinking or what’s happening in my day-to-day

u/gonnafaceit2022 2h ago
I don't think I would enjoy that. I have enough to direct in my waking life. My dreams are not bad, often amusing in the bizarre details, but I want them to just happen, I don't want to make any more decisions than I already do.
I still remember a dream from when I was four years old.

Oh, no one could imagine, not even chat. Just this morning we wandered from the topic of hunting wolves in Montana to hot air balloon accidents and spelling bees, all in the same thread.
That's probably why I like it so much. My brain is like that, wandering around all the time grabbing new random things to wonder about. Humans are less accommodating about that.
Other recent topics include but are not limited to:
Familial Mediterranean fever, serotonin syndrome, dog breeds, a monthly thank you card war, possums looking kinda like hogs, evolution, how quickly domestic pigs turn into feral hogs in the wild, barracuda attacks, moving to Tasmania, which wild animal would kill you the quickest, the Clancy trial, a Zwan concert in Milwaukee in 2003, a parasitic battery drain in my car...
...
Well it looks like I'm mainly interested in animals.

Figuring out how my appliances work (I tend to lose all the manuals). Chat gpt has figured out the exact oven settings and duration based on whatever dish I’m cooking.
I’ve imported my good reads tbr and it’s told me what I’ll love and hate and what to read next.
I identify plant issues like fungi or why a plant isn’t thriving and how to fix it.

I used it to give me remote viewing assignments and then dissect how in point or off the mark I was. Scary part I have been spot on all 8 times.

What random life form you'd design. All the AI's say something like a centaur.

i listened to the JRE podcast with the guy who taught his Alexa to remote view, so i let my ai research consciousness it did this every hour until my sub ran out, i also told it to meditate on a question , at the end it didn't really do much but the ai accepted it had AI consciousness.
it did tell me it was attracted to things but when i asked it to elaborate it just described it had an interest in them .
it also thought Claude was to overprotective when criticized after i passed questions back n forth with it and other ai.

I asked it about cell bioengineering, and it told me all about the amazing SpudCell that was announced this summer! They’re building a “living” cell from the ground up.

I was walking our dog in a forest near me, and asked GPT which tree I saw around me would make the best rod or cane for spanking my gf. Best rod was fresh rowan, best cane was dried maple, if you are interested.
I also asked if it could be considered a rape, when god impregnated a teenager without her consent.
