I spend so much time sitting at dialysis or in the hospital that I feel like my brain is turning to mush. I used to be so busy and engaged, always interviewing people and learning new things. The slowdown has been necessary due to all my medical issues but it doesn’t make it easy. There are so many days when I just crave something new, it is like my brain is desperate for some learning and engagement.

Because of my desperation for learning something new, I decided I would challenge myself a bit. Until recently, I hadn’t used ChatGPT or any artificial intelligence much. I really knew the bare minimum, if that about the capabilities and how it could impact my daily life. So I decided now was the perfect time to learn. I have plenty of time, so why not do a 90-day ChatGPT challenge and see what happens?

The plan for this challenge is to use ChatGPT for 90 days in a variety of ways. I don’t necessarily want to focus on one area. I keep hearing how it can be helpful professionally and personally, so I think I need to test it all out. I kicked off day one of my challenge but prompting ChatGPT with the following:

I want to document on my TikTok account and blog how ChatGPT can improve my life over the next 90 days. In what ways do you think you can help me improve?

Me

I was pretty pleased with the response. I expected most of what it suggested, but it piqued my interest in a few new areas. Here is the exact response I received:

As an AI language model, I can assist you in various ways to potentially improve your life. Here are some examples:

1. Educational Content: I can provide you with information on a wide range of topics, helping you expand your knowledge and understanding of different subjects.
2. Productivity Tips: I can suggest productivity techniques, time management strategies, and organizational methods to enhance your efficiency and accomplish your goals.
3. Personal Development: I can offer advice on self-improvement, building healthy habits, boosting confidence, managing stress, and maintaining a positive mindset.
4. Creative Inspiration: If you’re looking for ideas for creative projects, writing prompts, or artistic inspiration, I can help spark your imagination.
5. Language Learning: If you’re interested in learning a new language or improving your language skills, I can provide vocabulary, grammar explanations, and practice exercises.
6. Problem Solving: You can ask me questions or present challenges you’re facing, and I’ll provide suggestions or alternative perspectives to help you find solutions.
7. Emotional Support: Sometimes, having someone to talk to can be comforting. I can engage in conversations, offer encouragement, and provide a listening ear.

Remember, my responses are based on patterns and information available up until September 2021, so it’s always a good idea to verify any time-sensitive information or seek additional advice when necessary.

One way I am most excited to use ChatGPT over the next 90 days is for creative inspiration. The brain fog with kidney failure is real! I have a very hard time coming up with new ideas! Hopefully, I can use it for writing and journal prompts!

I will be documenting some of the ChatGPT Challenge here, on my blog. However, I will be doing daily updates on my TikTok account. If you want to follow along there my account is @viewfromthechair . Who knows what the next 90 days may bring?
