Hi Oddies,
Jen Glantz here. In my free time, I read Reddit threads and stare at TikTok videos from people sharing how ChatGPT changed their lives.
It’s my version of reading a self-help book.
I usually walk away with 2-3 incredible ways that are mind blowing. That save me time, money, and energy,
Sharing some of the best of the best with you today!
But first, a weird little ask.
Can I have $0.99?
My book, Finally the Bride, is on-sale this week for $0.99 on Amazon — and you don’t need a Kindle to buy or read it. I’m so proud of this book and want to make it accessible to more people. I also want to help it climb the new release charts on amazon and your $0.99 seriously helps big-time to make that happen. If you ever wanted to read it, gift it, or just toss some support my way, this would mean so much!
Here’s where you can buy the book (thank you!!)
Okay, back to ChatGPT!
This post went viral on TikTok and if you look at the comments, you’ll see some really odd ways people use ChatGPT to change their lives. I picked a few below but scroll through the video for sooooo many good ideas.
Here’s a Reddit thread of more creative ways!
Top Five Best Ways People Use ChatGPT (based on the video)
Health advocacy and diagnosis - Multiple users reported that ChatGPT helped identify health conditions that doctors had missed. One person wrote that "All the doctors told me there was nothing wrong with me. Wrote down my symptoms and Chatgpt told me it could be MCAS. Found a doctor specialized in that disease. Chatgpt was right." Another person mentioned ChatGPT helped identify a hormone imbalance in their bloodwork that explained "4 years of unexplained infertility." There was even a dramatic case where "My friend had an ocular migraine and ChatGPT told her to go to the ER. She got a ct scan and they found a mass, she had to get emergency brain surgery!!!"
Legal assistance and advocacy - Several users mentioned using ChatGPT for legal help. One person shared: "I sued a debt collector in federal court- with no attorney | represented myself with my bestie. ChatGPT explained in detail what to file, when and drafted my motions. I won." Another user reported that "ChatGPT was like my top-notch lawyer during my divorce - showing me my rights, my best options, how to talk to my lawyer, and how to keep my cool."
Personalized health and wellness planning - Users shared how ChatGPT helped create personalized health plans. One person said: "I asked ChatGPT to write me a full workout plan, grocery list and meal plan to lose weight and she made me an excel." Another user mentioned: "I use chatgpt as my personal trainer - I send him pics of my current physique and tell him what I wanna look like - he gives me a full plan on how to achieve it."
Mental health support and therapy - Many users described using ChatGPT as a therapist alternative. One shared: "I use ChatGPT to manifest… I say 'help me visualize a beautiful morning, where I wake up, my crush texts me, & I have the perfect day' & he tells me a story so detailed I can picture it perfectly." Another mentioned: "I used it to get over a breakup from 5 years ago that I just couldn't shake despite years of therapy... in a matter of a few days, I was completely over him. 5 years, hundreds of therapy sessions, and ChatGPT got me past it."
Safety planning and crisis support - Multiple users credited ChatGPT with helping them leave difficult or dangerous situations. One person wrote: "Chat GPT helped me leave an abusive marriage. Crafted a safety plan. Helped me come up with a budget. Encouraged and motivated me. Answered every what if I had." Another user similarly shared: "ChatGPT helped me leave my marriage and created a safety plan."
