3 Freakishly Useful Chat GPT Things

This week, OpenAI dropped its new model—GPT o3—and the internet promptly exploded.

People fed it photos of their pets and got Studio Ghibli remakes. Others turned scribbled notes into polished documents. Marketing teams created professional creative ad sets that were Nike-like in caliber. Some built entire apps using just voice and vibe coding.

The new GPT isn't just faster and smarter—it's fun. Like actually fun.

So this week, we're calling it what it is:

• AI your new entertainment hub.

• It's your creative wingman.

• And yes, it still helps you get stuff done—fast.

AI Is Your New Pocket Party Trick

We've officially entered the era where your plus-one to any dinner party can be… ChatGPT.

It can crack jokes, make up movies, appraise your weird decor, and give you a one-liner that makes you sound interesting and cultured.

With these tricks in your pocket, you'll never be bored—or boring—at a party again.

Here are 3 fun things to try this week:

1. AI Antique Roadshow

Snap a photo of something in your house and ask:

"What is this? Where is it from? Is it worth anything?"

Whether it's your grandma's vase or a cursed flea market find, GPT will do its best to appraise it, history and all.

2. Make your life a Pixar movie

Describe your childhood best friend, your breakup, your existential dread, or your boss—and say:

"Turn this into a Pixar-style short film."

Expect heartbreak, redemption arcs, and probably a sentient toaster.

Bonus: ask for the script and the storyboard.

3. Turn your dog into a human

Upload a photo and ask:

"What would this dog be like as a person?"

You'll get a full backstory—job, personality, hobbies, love life.

(Warning: It might hit a little too close to home.)

And 3 Ways to Actually Get Stuff Done

1. Turn receipts into an expense report

Snap a pic of a few receipts and say:

"Can you extract the info and organize this into a clean expense table?"

You'll get: date, vendor, amount—ready for your budget tracker in excel, google sheets, or a Notion doc.

(Yes, freelancers and avoidant adulting types, this one's for you.)

2. Turn notes into a summary + follow-up

Take a photo of your meeting notes—messy handwriting and all—and say:

"Summarize this into key takeaways, decisions, and next steps."

Bonus: Ask it to write the follow-up email too. You'll look impossibly organized.

3. Build your own expert panel

Stuck on a big decision? Drop it into ChatGPT and say:

"Give me the pros and cons of each option like a panel of experts in [your field]."

It'll channel a CFO, a startup founder, a product designer, or even a therapist.

The boardroom is now in your pocket. (We know you never listen to the advice your friends and family give you, anyway.)

The bottom line:

The new o3 model isn't just a smarter assistant. It's your weird, wonderful, wildly capable co-creator.

Try the fun stuff. Use the smart stuff. And yes, bring it to your next dinner party.
