'What Do You Use ChatGPT for That Sounds Ridiculous Until People Try It' Pulls 1,060 Comments — a Live Index of Non-Obvious Use Cases
r/ChatGPT·low signal
An r/ChatGPT thread explicitly ruling out the standard answers — email writing, document summarizing, basic coding — and asking for the weird, unexpected, genuinely useful applications drew 619 upvotes and 1,060 comments, a comment-to-score ratio of 1.71 that makes it the highest-engagement thread in today's pull by a wide margin. Threads like this are the best available proxy for where consumer AI adoption is actually going versus where marketing says it is, since the framing filters out the use cases people already know to name.
