AI is a powerful science that has evolved a lot throughout the years and one tool that can clearly show that is the Chat GPT. There are self-driving cars, the amazing AlphaZero AI that learned chess very quickly and was able to beat an application that was specialized in that. Soon enough there will be the next great revolution in the industry, lots of jobs will be replaced by AI and we will need to adapt.
So far the most powerful tool I used for AI that is not dumb is Chat GPT, I am quite impressed with the precise answers it’s able to provide. It can even solve complex problems by writing the whole code in any programming language. Not using this powerful tool is such a waste and that’s why I am creating this article so you can use Chat GPT for the best of your benefit.
How to Use Chat GPT?
It’s easy, Chat GPT is a website if you are using your Desktop computer. In that case, you have to access the following link:
https://chat.openai.com
Then you create your account and you can use your Google or Microsoft account to get registered. Then, you can start using and making your questions to Chat GPT.
If you want to use Chat GPT on your phone, you will need to download the app first.
Is it worth it to Upgrade Chat GPT?
The free version of Chat GPT is quite powerful already, but if you want even more power and knowledge, you can upgrade to the Plus version. You will get more sophisticated answers to your questions, and you will be able to solve more complicated and specific problems. A friend told me that the free version of Chat GPT is like asking a 15-year-old, while the Chat GPT Plus is like asking a 40-year-old.
How Does Chat GPT Work from Behind the Scenes?
Chat GPT is a large language model based on deep learning algorithms. It processes natural language input by breaking it down into mathematical representations called embeddings. It uses its trained algorithms to generate a response by selecting appropriate words and phrases. Chat GPT improves over time by learning from user input and feedback.

1 – Plan Your Travel
You can ask Chat GPT to plan your travel. That’s so handy and saves you a lot of time because you don’t need to do a lot of research. For example, let’s suppose I want to go to London, I can ask the following:
Question to Chat GPT:
I will go to London for 2 days. Can you plan my travel with the most amazing things I can do there?
Chat GPT answer:
Morning:
- Start your day early by visiting the iconic Tower Bridge and Tower of London. You can take a guided tour of the Tower of London and learn about its rich history as a royal palace, fortress, and prison.
Mid-morning/Afternoon:
- From there, take a stroll along the Thames River and visit the famous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
- For lunch, head to Borough Market, one of London’s oldest and most famous food markets, and try some of the delicious street food.
Afternoon:
- After lunch, head to the British Museum and explore its vast collection of art and artifacts from around the world.
- End your day by taking a ride on the London Eye and enjoying the panoramic views of the city from above.
2 – Create Code to Solve a Specific Problem
It’s possible to ask ChatGPT to even create complex code solutions for very specific problems, we just need to write it in detail for her.
I will show you a simple example of code that ChatGPT can create.
Question to Chat GPT:
Create a Java program that reads files from the root partition of any Linux Ubuntu machine and then print all of the file names and size.
import java.io.File;
public class ReadFiles {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File directory = new File("/");
// Get all the files in the directory
File[] files = directory.listFiles();
// Print the name and size of each file
for (File file : files) {
if (file.isFile()) {
System.out.println("File name: " + file.getName() + " , Size: " + file.length());
}
}
}
}
You can ask Chat GPT to even create a whole microservice for you. You can ask to make a code more secure. You can get an existing method code and ask Chat GPT to create Unit Tests. Chat GPT really understands your code and is able to create the solution you want. Therefore, let’s see more examples of questions:
More Chat GPT Questions:
Create unit tests for the following code:
Your method code here…
Create a UI code with React that shows the price of products in a data table.
Create a microservice with Quarkus that is secure and will insert, update, delete, and retrieve information from products.
Your creativity is the limit, try out different questions and use ChatGPT to save you lots of time when coding.
3 – Ask for a Free Consultation
You can ask for tips for your health or anything else you want to improve. If you want to gain muscles in the gym you can simply ask:
Question to ChatGPT:
How to gain more muscles in the gym?
ChatGPT Answer:
Lift weights: Focus on lifting weights that are heavy enough to challenge your muscles, but not so heavy that you can’t maintain proper form. Aim to lift weights 2-4 times per week.
Focus on compound exercises: Compound exercises are movements that engage multiple muscle groups at once, such as squats, deadlifts, bench press, and pull-ups. These exercises are great for building overall muscle mass.
Increase your protein intake: Protein is essential for building and repairing muscle tissue. Aim to consume 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day.
Eat a balanced diet: Make sure you’re consuming enough calories to support muscle growth and focus on eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
Get enough rest: Your muscles need time to rest and recover after a workout. Aim to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and take rest days as needed.
The answers from ChatGPT will be mostly precise because AI reads tons of books and absorbed lots of information. Therefore, chances are that ChatGPT will give you a reasonable answer.
4 – Write sections of an Article or even a Book
ChatGPT can easily write a section of an article. You just need to ask for it. For example, let me ask what are the most useful things I can do with ChatGPT, and let’s see what is the answer.

Let’s see the following example.
Question to ChatGPT:
Refine and add more context to the following text in 3 lines of text:
AI will create a big impact on the world very soon.
ChatGPT Answer:
AI is a rapidly developing technology that has the potential to change the world in a significant way. As AI systems continue to improve, they are expected to play an increasingly important role in fields such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. However, it is important to address ethical concerns and ensure that AI is used in ways that benefit society as a whole.
Question:
Refine the following text and make it more interesting:
ChatGPT Answer:
Wait for people to finish their sentences, and be genuinely curious about what the other person does. Don’t criticize people, don’t think you are always right, and avoid arguments as you avoid snakes.
Active listening and genuine curiosity are essential to building meaningful relationships. Instead of interrupting people, take the time to wait for them to finish their thoughts and express a genuine interest in their lives. Criticizing others and assuming you are always right only serves to create division and negativity, while avoiding arguments can help preserve relationships and maintain a sense of harmony. So, let’s approach conversations with an open mind and an eagerness to learn, and always remember to handle disagreements with grace and respect.
6 – Create Songs
ChatGPT is also creative and you can ask her to make any song you want. To demonstrate how that works, let’s see the following.

13 – Summarize Books
We don’t have much time to read books, therefore, we must carefully choose the books we will read. A super reader will read an average of 6,400 books. That’s why it’s very useful to summarize some books to get the best information from them without reading the whole book. Let’s try that for the Rich Dar Poor Dad book:
Question to ChatGPT:
Summarize the rich dad poor dad book
Answer from ChatGPT:
Rich Dad Poor Dad is a book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter which advocates the importance of financial literacy, financial independence, and building wealth through investing in assets, real estate investing, starting and owning businesses, as well as increasing one’s financial intelligence ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾⁽³⁾.
It tells the story of a boy with two fathers, one rich and one poor, to help readers develop the mindset and financial knowledge they need to build a life of wealth and freedom ⁽¹⁾. The two dads are a parable for two different approaches to wealth: Poor Dad recommends getting a secure job with good benefits and retiring with a pension, while Rich Dad recommends amassing assets that make money for you, becoming financially literate, and practicing independent thinking
14 – Translate Text to Multiple Languages

17 – Get Specific Data from Text
Sometimes it’s necessary to get a piece of information from a very long text and that might take some time. Fortunately, ChatGPT does this work, let’s see how.
Question to ChatGPT:
Extract from the following text how the second world war started:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
Answer from ChatGPT:
The Second World War began on September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland. The United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany on September 3. Germany had made treaties with the Soviet Union to partition Poland and marked out their “spheres of influence” across other countries, and from 1939 to 1941, in a series of campaigns and treaties, Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe. The war continued primarily between the European Axis powers and the British Empire, with the Eastern Front opening when Germany led the European Axis powers in an invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Japan was already at war with the Republic of China by 1937, and in December 1941, it attacked American and British territories, including Pearl Harbor, resulting in the United States and the United Kingdom declaring war against Japan. The European Axis powers declared war on the United States in solidarity.

(I removed most of the instructions to not make this article too extensive).
19 – Refine or created your CV
ChatGPT can create a CV for most well-known companies and for small companies you will have to detail a bit more about what it does. Let’s see an example though to create a CV for Nintendo:
20 – ChatGPT as a Personal Stylist
If you have an important event to go but you don’t know what clothes to wear, ChatGPT can help you with that. Let’s see an example:
Question to ChatGPT:
What clothes should I wear to my sister wedding in one paragraph?
Answer from ChatGPT:
The appropriate attire for your sister’s wedding will depend on the dress code specified on the wedding invitation. If there is no specified dress code, consider the venue and time of day of the wedding. As a general rule, men should wear a suit or dress pants with a dress shirt and tie for a formal or semi-formal wedding, while women can wear a long dress or a cocktail dress. It’s always a good idea to avoid wearing white or anything too casual or revealing. Ultimately, it’s important to dress respectfully and tastefully for your sister’s wedding, while also feeling comfortable and confident in your outfit.

More Power than ChatGPT Only?
There is an app that joins most AI apps in one platform which is really powerful because if you don’t have the answer you are expecting in one app, you will get it in another one. Or you can use the other AI platforms to complement whatever you are researching.
This is the link to have access to all those AI platforms:
https://poe.com
Then you will have access to Sage, Claude+, Claude-Instant, ChatGPT, NeevaAI, and Dragonfly.
Conclusion
Even though AI is extremely powerful, not always it will give us the correct answer. Therefore, we must use the tool but always verify the given answer to see if it’s true, and don’t fully trust it because the AI apps themselves inform us that not always they will be right.
Use AI, and get the full benefit from it because it’s really a very powerful technology and it will change a lot of things in the market and life in general.
