ChatGPT by OpenAI is a powerful AI chatbot that can give you an answer to just about any question you have. It's almost as if Google was a person you could have a conversation with.
It's open to the public for free during a trial period, so you can try it out today. The only question is, what should you ask it? Besides getting ChatGPT to do your homework for you, there are plenty of interesting ways to use it. Here are some of our favorites.
1. Fun Facts
ChatGPT knows a lot of things about our world, from quantum physics to how to make a great cup of coffee. If you don't know what to say the first time you use ChatGPT, start by asking it for some fun facts about the world.
ChatGPT is what people hoped Siri or Alexa would be, an AI assistant that could give us the answer to our random thoughts throughout the day. Even though ChatGPT isn't designed to access the World Wide Web, it does owe its knowledge to being trained on data from the internet.
Just like the internet, however, it can still get things wrong. There are several big problems with ChatGPT that need to be fixed, so be careful not to believe everything it says—even if it sounds convincing!
2. Learn Something New
One way to start a new hobby is to talk to ChatGPT. It's far quicker than trawling through internet blog posts and dodging advertisements to find what you're looking for.
How do I learn to play the piano? What painting materials do I need as a beginner? How do I bake a potato gratin? Learn something new today by putting these questions into ChatGPT.

One area that ChatGPT really excels is helping us understand difficult ideas. You can ask it to explain the major themes in a famous novel or find the connection between two ideas. Plus, if there are any specific parts of the answer you don't get, simply ask ChatGPT to clarify the point.
If you want to try something a bit different, ask ChatGPT to explain an idea, but write it in the style of a rap song, or maybe explain it using a funny analogy.
4. Help With Coding
Words aren't the only language that it can speak, ChatGPT also understands code. Use it to help generate snippets of code to save you time working on tedious work. Interestingly, you can also employ ChatGPT to identify problems with your computer code and explain exactly why it doesn't work.
5. Get Better at Writing
There are several ways that ChatGPT can aid you in learning to write better. You can ask it to proofread your writing or even to suggest how your paragraph or essay could be improved.
Alternatively, you can think of it like a thesaurus. Try describing what it is you're trying to say and asking it to suggest some words that match.
6. Compose a Message
