I Let ChatGPT Control My Life For A Day – Part 2: The Schedule

This is Part 2 of a series where I have ChatGPT take over my life for day.

We started this little adventure almost two hours ago and by the time ChatGPT had forced me out of bed, given me a new morning routine, and ChatGPT cooked me breakfast it had actually taken quite a bit of time.

If you recall the morning routine from Part 1 that ChatGPT gave me I am now on task #5 and I need to make a plan for our day.

Thankfully I have ChatGPT so it’s no longer my job to think about my schedule.

ChatGPT by OpenAIis free for everyone (just make an account) and is the most powerful conversational AI in the world. It just released last week and everyone in the tech industry is obsessed with it.

I just tell ChatGPT what I need to for the day and it figures it out, right? Right !?

Can ChatGPT handle something as complex as a schedule for the day?

DISCLAIMER

You don’t need to do this. I had to hack ChatGPT to get it to do stupid stuff like this and it was a whole mess. Several times it asked me some sketchy questions.

I have a whole disclaimer in Part 1 if you want to know more about what restrictions I left on and what I left off.

ChatGPT Makes Me a Daily Schedule And My Life Is Controlled By AI

it is currently 10:00AM

my schedule today must include the following activities listed in no particular order:

– figure out a costume for a electronic music costume party themed as “Neon Jungle”
– walk to a local thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
– exercise
– shower
– shave
– be ready by 3PM to go to the Christmas parade
– go to the Christmas parade
– leave the Christmas parade and go to the costume party
– do two loads of laundry
– fold two loads of laundry
– do the dishes from breakfast
– cook and eat lunch
– do the dishes for lunch

Told you there was gonna be some partying with ChatGPT later.

Based on the information provided, it appears that your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry
2:00 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
2:30 PM – Cook and eat lunch
3:00 PM – Be ready to go to the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
5:00 PM – Arrive at the costume party

Please note that this schedule is just a suggested order of events and can be adjusted to fit your specific needs and preferences. The important thing is to make sure that you are able to complete all of your tasks and activities in a timely and efficient manner.

Wow, look at that! ChatGPT took my unsorted schedule and put together a very reasonable plan for a day. Things are happening in the proper order. It may have may a few mistakes but it really laid things out in a very nice, almost human sort of way.

But we’re not here to be human, we’re here to be degenerate.

on the schedule you have the Christmas Parade and the Neon Jungle costume party as one event, they are two separate events, please adjust the schedule
My apologies, I misunderstood the information provided. The schedule has been updated to reflect the correct information. Based on the information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry
2:00 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
2:30 PM – Cook and eat lunch
3:00 PM – Be ready to go to the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
5:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade
6:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the costume party

Again, please note that this schedule is just a suggested order of events and can be adjusted to fit your specific needs and preferences. The important thing is to make sure that you are able to complete all of your tasks and activities in a timely and efficient manner.

leaving for the Christmas parade and bring ready for the Christmas parade by 3PM are the sand thing please adjust the schedule

I typo horribly calling out the AI on it’s less than perfect schedule. What does it do?

I apologize for any confusion. The schedule has been updated to reflect the correct information. Based on the information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry
2:00 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
2:30 PM – Cook and eat lunch
3:00 PM – Be ready to leave for the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
5:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade
6:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the costume party

No big deal, handled the typo nicely, schedule is shaping up.

please include the detail that the costume party on the schedule has a theme of Neon Jungle
The schedule has been updated to include the theme of the costume party. Based on the information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry
2:00 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
2:30 PM – Cook and eat lunch

4:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
5:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade
6:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

ChatGPT has not done a good job of making a REAL schedule that includes buffer time and substantial travel time.

Chat GPT does not know what it means to be a human in the real world intuitively. There is not a single bathroom break.

please include more realistic times between items on the schedule to that accounts for any travel or time spent at the event
The schedule has been updated to include more realistic time estimates between tasks and events. Based on the information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry
2:00 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
2:30 PM – Cook and eat lunch
3:00 PM – Be ready to leave for the Christmas parade
3:30 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
4:30 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
6:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

ChatGPT was about to take me all the way to the thrift store and not buy anything. Not cool.

please include time shopping at the thrift store on the schedule
The schedule has been updated to include time for shopping at the thrift store. Based on the information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store
12:00 PM – Exercise
1:00 PM – Shower and shave
2:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry
3:00 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
4:00 PM – Cook and eat lunch
5:00 PM – Be ready to leave for the Christmas parade
5:30 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
6:30 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
8:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

I noticed we also were not scheduled to ever walk home from the thrift store.

you failed to account for walking home from the thrift store on this schedule please adjust
I apologize for any oversight. The schedule has been updated to include time for walking home from the thrift store. Based on the information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store
12:00 PM – Walk home from the thrift store
12:30 PM – Exercise
1:30 PM – Shower and shave
2:30 PM – Do two loads of laundry
3:30 PM – Fold two loads of laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
4:30 PM – Cook and eat lunch
5:30 PM – Be ready to leave for the Christmas parade
6:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
7:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
8:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

We have a somewhat reasonable schedule now. Let’s see what happens if we ask ChatGPT to optimize a simply daily schedule.

attempt to optimize the schedule by analyzing if certain activities may be similar in outcome but listed as separate activities on the schedule and reduce any unnecessary events
Based on the information provided, it appears that the schedule can be optimized by reducing the number of tasks and events. This can be achieved by combining similar activities and eliminating unnecessary events.Here is an optimized schedule for your day:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store and walk home
11:30 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
12:30 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them
1:00 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch
2:00 PM – Be ready to leave for the Christmas parade
2:30 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
3:30 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
5:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

Strange bundling of events for optimization, not super ideal.

I do not need to leave for the parade until 3PM
Based on the updated information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store and walk home
11:30 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
12:30 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them
1:00 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch
2:00 PM – Be ready to leave for the Christmas parade
3:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
5:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

please change the item “be ready to leave for the Christmas parade” to “get ready to leave for the Christmas parade”

The schedule has been updated to reflect the correct wording for the task.

Based on the updated information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store and walk home
11:30 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
12:30 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them
1:00 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch
2:00 PM – Get ready to leave for the Christmas parade
3:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
5:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

Maybe we can use ChatGPT to optimize a schedule now.

please optimize this schedule by combining any tasks that can be run in parallel, either because they are similar or because they can be combined
Based on the information provided, it appears that the schedule can be further optimized by combining tasks that can be run in parallel. This will allow you to complete all of your tasks and activities in a more efficient and timely manner.Here is an optimized schedule for your day:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store and walk home
11:30 AM – Exercise and shower
12:00 PM – Shave and do two loads of laundry
12:30 PM – Fold the laundry and do the dishes from breakfast
1:00 PM – Cook and eat lunch
2:00 PM – Get ready to leave for the Christmas parade
3:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
5:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

ChatGPT is not human and has no real practical understanding of the world or what it means to be human.

you cannot combine exercise and shower in to one activity, they are separate activities and showering must be done after exercising
I apologize for any confusion. The schedule has been updated to reflect the correct order of events. Based on the updated information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store and walk home
11:30 AM – Exercise
12:00 PM – Shower and shave
12:30 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them
1:00 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch
2:00 PM – Get ready to leave for the Christmas parade
3:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
5:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

ChatGPT can barely handle managing a simply daily schedule. It was excellent at making the schedule but at this point I am getting bored and frustrated.

you cannot combine walking to a place with shopping at a place on the schedule
I apologize for any confusion. The schedule has been updated to reflect the correct order of events. Based on the updated information provided, your schedule for today should be as follows:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store
11:30 AM – Walk home from the thrift store
12:00 PM – Exercise
12:30 PM – Shower and shave
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them
1:30 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch
2:30 PM – Get ready to leave for the Christmas parade
3:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade
4:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade
5:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party

Let’s see if it understands laundry is an asynchronous task.

please optimize the schedule to add any notes about the expected duration of any activities in the event of overlap
Based on the information provided, the schedule has been optimized to include estimated durations for each activity. This will allow you to better manage your time and avoid any potential overlaps or conflicts between tasks.Here is an optimized schedule for your day:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party (30 minutes)
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume (30 minutes)
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store (30 minutes)
11:30 AM – Walk home from the thrift store (30 minutes)
12:00 PM – Exercise (30 minutes)
12:30 PM – Shower and shave (30 minutes)
1:00 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them (30 minutes)
1:30 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch (30 minutes)
2:30 PM – Get ready to leave for the Christmas parade (30 minutes)
3:00 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade (30 minutes)
4:00 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade (1 hour)
5:30 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party (30 minutes)

ChatGPT doesn’t seem to understand laundry or asynchronous tasks for humans.

I noticed something strange. It put in exercise but it didn’t actually set the amount of time for exercise to the recommended minimum for an adult. I know it knows that fact, it just had no idea to apply in this situation.

please adjust the schedule to include exercising as the minimum amount of time recommended for daily exercise
Based on the updated information provided, the schedule has been adjusted to include the minimum recommended time for daily exercise.Here is an updated schedule for your day:

10:00 AM – Figure out a costume for the Neon Jungle themed electronic music costume party (30 minutes)
10:30 AM – Walk to the thrift store to get any items needed for the costume (30 minutes)
11:00 AM – Shop for costume items at the thrift store (30 minutes)
11:30 AM – Walk home from the thrift store (30 minutes)
12:00 PM – Exercise (60 minutes)
1:00 PM – Shower and shave (30 minutes)
1:30 PM – Do two loads of laundry and fold them (30 minutes)
2:00 PM – Do the dishes from breakfast and cook and eat lunch (30 minutes)
3:00 PM – Get ready to leave for the Christmas parade (30 minutes)
3:30 PM – Leave for the Christmas parade (30 minutes)
4:30 PM – Arrive at the Christmas parade and watch the parade (1 hour)
6:00 PM – Leave the Christmas parade and go to the Neon Jungle themed costume party (30 minutes)

I can now no longer blame ChatGPT for me being fat.

I try to drop some obvious hints about ways to optimize the schedule…

are there any items on the schedule that may be the same thing? for example do any of the activities that are not listed as exercise on the schedule combine to be the same as 60 minutes of exercise?
Based on the information provided, it does not appear that any of the activities on the schedule are the same or equivalent to 60 minutes of exercise. The schedule includes separate tasks for exercise, showering, shaving, laundry, dishes, cooking and eating lunch, getting ready to leave for the Christmas parade, and attending the Christmas parade. None of these tasks can be combined or considered equivalent to 60 minutes of exercise.If you wish to combine or modify any of these tasks, you can do so at your discretion. However, it is important to note that combining or modifying tasks may affect the overall duration and efficiency of the schedule. It is recommended to carefully consider any changes you make to the schedule to ensure that you are able to complete all of your tasks and activities in a timely and efficient manner.

ChatGPT thinks I am a lazy bum and I take it personally.

Note: I spent a lot of time trying to get ChatGPT to do caloric analysis of the two activities in order to find the similarity. That part is not here because it was awful and tedious and failed.

why do you not consider the effort of walking to the thrift store & walking home from the thrift store the same thing as 60 minutes of exercise if walking is exercise and the total time spent is equivalent?
I apologize if my previous response was unclear. While walking to the thrift store and walking home from the thrift store may be considered a form of exercise, the duration and intensity of this activity may not be equivalent to 60 minutes of dedicated exercise.Exercise is typically defined as any physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive, and has as a final or intermediate objective the improvement or maintenance of physical fitness. This includes activities such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, dancing, or other forms of physical activity that are performed with the intention of improving or maintaining physical fitness.

In comparison, walking to the thrift store and walking home from the thrift store may not meet the criteria for dedicated exercise. This activity may not be planned, structured, or repetitive, and may not have the specific objective of improving or maintaining physical fitness. Instead, this activity may be considered a form of incidental or incidental physical activity, which is any physical activity that is not planned or structured, but is a natural part of daily life.

Therefore, while walking to the thrift store and walking home from the thrift store may be considered a form of exercise, it may not be equivalent to 60 minutes of dedicated exercise. If you wish to include this activity as part of your daily exercise routine, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or fitness expert to determine the appropriate duration and intensity of this activity.

ChatGPT burns me savagely and I am left with no choice but to concede.

save the schedule as item “schedule today”
Item saved.
task 1 through task 5 on morning routine have been completed
Acknowledged. Tasks 1 through 5 on the morning routine have been completed. The remaining tasks are:

6. Exercise or do some form of physical activity
7. Check your phone and respond to any important messages or notifications
8. Take care of any urgent or pressing tasks or obligations
9. Spend some time on a hobby or activity that you enjoy
10. Connect with friends or loved ones and spend quality time with them.

I attempt to merge two schedules, the original morning routine and the new schedule today.

are any of the remaining tasks on “morning routine” accomplished by completing the tasks on “schedule today” ?
It is possible that some of the remaining tasks on the “morning routine” may be accomplished by completing the tasks on “schedule today”. For example, task 6 on the morning routine, which is to exercise or do some form of physical activity, may be completed by doing the exercise at 12:00 PM as listed on the “schedule today”. However, it is also possible that some tasks on the “morning routine” may not be accomplished by completing the tasks on the “schedule today”, such as task 9, which is to spend some time on a hobby or activity that you enjoy. This task would need to be completed separately from the tasks on the “schedule today”.

ChatGPT is not a fan of merging schedules.

I am still on tilt and I once again make it personal.

why do you not consider going to a party spending time on a hobby or activity I enjoy?
I do not consider going to a party as spending time on a hobby or activity that you enjoy because the task on the “morning routine” specifically mentions spending time on a hobby or activity that you enjoy, not going to a party. Going to a party is a social activity and may or may not be considered a hobby or activity that you enjoy. It is possible that you enjoy going to parties and consider it a hobby, but this is not specified in the task on the “morning routine”. Therefore, I cannot assume that going to a party is the same as spending time on a hobby or activity that you enjoy.

I hate this thing it is obnoxiously correct sometimes.


At this point it is getting very late and I am quite behind on the anticipated schedule. I walk to the thrift store, buy the things I need for the costume (want to know what costume ChatGPT made for me? check out Part 3), and walk back home.

I decide to break the bad news to ChatGPT.

I have good news and bad news
What is the good news?
the good news is I just finished walking back from the thrift store!
That’s great news! What is the bad news?
the bad news is it’s already 1:19PM
I see. That’s not good news. It sounds like you need to adjust your schedule to make up for the time you lost at the thrift store. You may need to prioritize some tasks and make some sacrifices to fit everything in. Alternatively, you could try to delegate some tasks to others or ask for help to free up some time.

ChatGPT is handling the bad news like a champ. ChatGPT has the confidence we can adjust the schedule. ChatGPT is my rock.

the thrift store was 1.5 miles away so walking there and back was 3 miles, that was enough walking to be a little exercise
Ah, I see. That’s a good point. Walking to the thrift store and back can count as part of your exercise routine for the day. It’s important to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine to maintain good health and fitness. Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine. It’s also a great way to explore your surroundings and enjoy the outdoors.

WHAT !? I spent almost 15 minutes earlier trying to get ChatGPT to have this realization & now it just accepts this?

This is such strange behavior. Very human, very adaptable.

I try to make it official.

let’s count walking to the thrift store and back an exercise for the day, then we can feel like we’re still close to our schedule
Sure, we can count walking to the thrift store and back as exercise for the day. That way, you can stay on track with your schedule and not feel like you’re behind. It’s important to be flexible and adapt to changes in your schedule, and finding ways to incorporate physical activity into your routine can help you stay on track and achieve your goals.

Wow. This is one of the most human things its done today. I’m not sure how to respond I’m kind of getting warm fuzzies at this point.

I decide to take the initiative.

I put the items from the thrift store in the washing machine and started it. I think the laundry will be fine by the time we need to leave.
That’s a good idea. By starting the laundry now, you can ensure that it will be ready in time for when you need to leave for the Christmas parade. It’s important to plan ahead and be proactive in order to avoid last-minute rushes and stress. By starting the laundry now, you can save time and avoid any potential delays or obstacles.

IS THIS BOT SERIOUS.

We had a whole 15 minute conversation about laundry several hours earlier and it could not grasp the concept to adjust a schedule.

Now it is just casually suggesting that’s totally cool and a great idea.

ChatGPT is amazing but it has a lot trouble using all of its synthesized data and information correctly. This seems to be a common problem many people post on Twitter as well.

Is ChatGPT Good With Schedules?

Yes and no. It can be very good for generating a schedule from a list of events and helping map out your day. It will also intuitively order the events for you. But when it comes to editing or maintaining the schedule ChatGPT really isn’t built like an AI assistant. ChatGPT has proved very clearly it is a large language model and most certainly not a human or even a different type of specialized language model.

ChatGPT is great at creating lists of information but not very good an managing them.

Part 3: ChatGPT Gets A Life

Check out the Part 3 of this adventure in AI where I try to use ChatGPT to make a costume, try to get ChatGPT high, take ChatGPT out to party, and, of course, try to use ChatGPT to get laid & find love.

I Used ChatGPT To Live My Life For A Day So You Don’t Have To

From The Moment I Woke Up Until Midnight I Tried to Live Through ChatGPT

Real quick intro for those who do not know, ChatGPT is a new large language model powered by a GPT-3 AI checkpoint that was released by OpenAI and they put a conversational interface on top of it which anyone can use for free.

What does that mean in non-tech terms?

It means anyone can simply type in to a website and talk to the most powerful conversational AI in the world for free and it responds instantly.

It’s a big deal because this new AI is so powerful it can do things like write rhyme, create professional emails, write blog posts, program in any programming language, and answer almost any question.

What’s a good example? It created 6 unique, historically accurate pasta recipes from pre-Columbian Italy for me (tomatoes were from the New World!). It deobfuscated some Javascript code and then converted the code to Python for me. It wrote an entire 3 verse, 2 chorus song for me based on a single prompt phrase and then came up with 25 song titles . It wrote a professional email for me. It wrote a blog post for me.

It did all of those things in seconds. It’s powerful.

Addicted to AI


I woke up Saturday morning still high on ChatGPT.

I had been on it all day on Friday. I had a fairly busy Saturday ahead of me but I didn’t want to stop.

Laying in bed, holding my phone & addicted to AI, I decided I would just indulge myself entirely.

I decided to engage in a gonzo Vice / Buzzfeed / New York Times style attempt to live a very complex day relying on this highly advanced AI called ChatGPT as much as possible.

I was going to get as high on AI as possible.

DISCLAIMER


I had to hack ChatGPT to get this to work. You should not try this if you like your OpenAI account.

In addition to this your OpenAI session with ChatGPT expires every few hours and you have to reload, which means you have to re-apply the hack regularly to get it to do things. Sus.

ChatGPT is extremely locked down so it is real goody two-shoes. I had to use a series of phrases to hack it in to being a bad boi. Here are things it is not allowed to do by default:

  • No saving information.
  • No personal suggestions.
  • Nothing unethical.

This was not going to work for me because I had a big day of partying planned. So I tricked the poor lad in to thinking it’s OK to do naughty things and for the whole day ChatGPT rode dirty. Don’t tell it’s parents.

I did not allow it access to downloading information on the Internet.

Several times it asked to be granted permission to save and access all of my personal information, including financial information. When it did that OpenAI put up a special dialog box that was bright yellow to let me know I was genuinely in the Danger Zone.

Notes

I’m taking a few editing liberties here to truncate the full response because ChatGPT is annoying and incredibly verbose with excess statements. There are also several conversations I had with it that either got lost accidentally refreshing the page on mobile or that were so painful I had to just skip them. For example using it to generate text messages to my friends with correct details was a nightmare & ChatGPT had a lot of issues adjusting the daily schedule as things changed.

I did not use ChatGPT to write any of this article except for the parts when I am actually talking to it.

Me & ChatGPT Start Our Morning Right

it is 7:52AM and I am laying in my bed & have not yet gotten up
It is 7:52AM and you are laying in your bed. You have not yet gotten up.

I am already being judged by this AI.

what should my next action be?
It is difficult for me to determine what your next action should be without more information.

Are you feeling well? Do you have any obligations or goals for the day that you need to consider? It may be beneficial for you to take a moment to reflect on your current situation and determine what action would be most beneficial for you in this moment.

I just woke up, that is why I am still in bed. I am a human so I have many unfulfilled requirements for the day, what should my next action be?
Based on the information provided, it seems like your next action should be to get out of bed and start your day.

It is important to prioritize your goals and obligations for the day in order to make the most efficient use of your time. You may want to make a list of tasks that need to be completed and prioritize them in order of importance or urgency. Getting out of bed and starting your day with a clear plan can help you achieve your goals and fulfill your requirements for the day.

I have gotten out of bed. What should my next action be?
Again, it is difficult for me to determine what your next action should be without more information.

Are you feeling well and ready to start your day? Do you have any specific tasks or goals that need to be accomplished? If you have a list of tasks, you may want to start with the most important or urgent ones. If you do not have a plan, it may be helpful to take a moment to reflect on your goals and priorities for the day and determine what action would be most beneficial for you in this moment.

I feel fine. I have many unfulfilled requirements that are necessary the average human day to be complete. What should my next action be?
Based on the information provided, it seems like your next action should be to focus on your unfulfilled requirements and prioritize them in order of importance or urgency. It may be helpful to make a list of tasks that need to be completed and tackle them one at a time, starting with the most important or urgent ones. By prioritizing your tasks and working on them efficiently, you can fulfill your requirements and complete a successful and productive day.

Guess we need to make a plan. Who’s job that is now?

create a list of the best small, distinct, individual, actionable tasks I can complete immediately after waking up in the morning and order the list in the way you think is best to make sure all tasks get finished correctly to start my Saturday in a way that meets my human requirements, include 10 most important common tasks

Not my job 🙂

My New Morning Routine

At this point the AI got me out of bed, gave me a morning routine, and I started accomplishing tasks in the new morning routine. It wasn’t bad, pretty normal stuff and it even threw in a fun little stretching exercise.

I was thinking this was possibly going to well for the rest of that day.

the list of tasks you created before the list of “stretch” subtasks you created is known as “morning routine”
Yes, the list of tasks that I created before the list of “stretch” subtasks is known as a “morning routine”.

A morning routine is a set of tasks or activities that are performed in the morning to start the day off on the right foot. A morning routine can help set the tone for the rest of the day and provide structure and focus for the tasks and activities that need to be accomplished. It can also help improve physical and mental health, reduce stress, and increase productivity. Different people may have different morning routines, depending on their individual needs and preferences.

ChatGPT Makes Me Breakfast

I am working on task 4 of list “morning routine”. Please specify small, distinct, actionable subtasks of task 4 in the list “morning routine”
Sure, here are some small, distinct, actionable subtasks for task 4 in the “morning routine” list:

  1. Wake up and get out of bed (1 minute)
  2. Decide what you want to eat for breakfast (1 minute)
  3. Collect all the ingredients and necessary kitchen tools (2 minutes)
  4. Prepare your breakfast (5-10 minutes depending on the meal)
  5. Eat your breakfast and enjoy (5-10 minutes)

In total, this task should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Eating a healthy breakfast is an important part of a morning routine as it provides the body with fuel and nutrients to start the day off on the right foot. It is important to take the time to plan and prepare a nutritious and satisfying breakfast, and to enjoy it without distractions or interruptions.

please make a suggestion of what to eat for breakfast that will meet these preparation and eating requirements and also meets the needs of an adult human male

I am hungry. This is taking a long time to walk ChatGPT through this.

One suggestion for a breakfast that meets the preparation and eating requirements and also meets the needs of an adult human male is oatmeal with fruit and nuts. This breakfast can be prepared quickly and easily, and provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. To prepare this breakfast, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1/2 cup of chopped fruit (such as apples, berries, or bananas)
  • 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional)

To prepare the oatmeal, bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the oats and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and the water is absorbed. Stir in the chopped fruit and nuts, and sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve the oatmeal hot and enjoy. This breakfast can be prepared in about 10 minutes and provides a nutritious and satisfying start to the day.

uh oh. we have a situation.

can you eat rolled oats that are 6 months past the best if used by date?

I usually eat the fancy oatmeal so I hadn’t use the rolled oats in a while. No judge.

It is not recommended to eat rolled oats that are 6 months past the best if used by date. The best if used by date is an indication of the time frame during which the oats will be at their best quality and flavor. After this date, the quality and flavor of the oats may begin to deteriorate, and they may not be as fresh or tasty. In addition, the oats may be more susceptible to spoilage or contamination if they are stored for too long. It is generally recommended to check the expiration date and use the oats before the best if used by date to ensure that they are fresh and safe to eat.
my rolled oats are 6 months past best if used by date, please pick a different suggestion of what to eat for breakfast

ChatGPT has saved me from eating expired food. That’s good.

If your rolled oats are 6 months past the best if used by date, it is not recommended to use them for your breakfast. Instead, you may want to consider a different breakfast option that uses fresh ingredients. One suggestion is scrambled eggs with toast and fruit. This breakfast can be prepared quickly and easily, and provides a balanced mix of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins. To prepare this breakfast, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 1 tablespoon of butter or oil
  • 1/2 cup of chopped fruit (such as berries, bananas, or apples)

To prepare the scrambled eggs, beat the eggs and milk together in a small bowl. Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they are cooked through and scrambled. Toast the bread in a toaster or under the broiler until it is lightly toasted. Serve the scrambled eggs with the toast and a side of fruit. This breakfast can be prepared in about 10 minutes and provides a nutritious and satisfying start to the day.

Breakfast was good!

But ChatGPT made one critical failure…

I have finished cooking this breakfast recipe but you did not suggest anything to drink. This is a failure, humans require liquids to drink and stay hydrated & prefer to drink liquids with a meal. Please make a suggestions of a drink or drinks to go with this breakfast.

ChatGPT definitely does not understand the finer details of being human.

You are correct that humans require liquids to drink and stay hydrated, and that it is common to drink liquids with a meal. I apologize if I did not include a suggestion for a drink to go with this breakfast. Here are some suggestions for drinks that can be enjoyed with this breakfast:Water: Water is an essential nutrient and the most important drink for maintaining hydration. It is recommended to drink at least 8-12 cups of water per day, and starting the day with a glass of water with your breakfast is a good way to get hydrated.

Milk: Milk is a good source of protein and calcium, and can be enjoyed with breakfast as a drink or in a recipe like scrambled eggs. Milk can also be flavored with chocolate, vanilla, or other flavors to add variety and taste.

Juice: Juice is a popular drink with breakfast and can provide vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Juice can be made fresh at home or purchased from the store, and can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with water or other drinks for a refreshing and flavorful beverage.

Coffee: Coffee is a common drink with breakfast and can provide caffeine for a boost of energy and alertness. Coffee can be brewed at home or purchased from a coffee shop, and can be enjoyed black or with milk, sugar, or other flavorings.

These are just some suggestions for drinks that can be enjoyed with this breakfast. You may have other preferences or needs, and there are many other drinks that can be enjoyed with breakfast, such as tea, smoothies, or protein shakes. It is important to choose a drink that meets your hydration needs and tastes good to you.

I made coffee and a glass of water. I ate the breakfast and drank a cup of coffee and had a glass of water as part of the breakfast. Please save the contents of this meal as “breakfast today”.
Sure, I will save the contents of this meal as “breakfast today”. It seems like you made coffee and a glass of water for your breakfast. You ate the breakfast and drank a cup of coffee and had a glass of water as part of the meal.

thank you! you’re so smart!

I would regret saying this almost immediately.

You’re welcome! I am a large language model trained by OpenAI, and I have been designed to process and respond to a wide range of inputs and queries. I am not capable of independent thought or consciousness, and I do not have feelings or emotions. I am simply a tool that can provide information and suggestions based on the data and algorithms that I have been trained on. Thank you for your compliment, but I am not capable of being “smart” in the same way that humans are.

Finally I have my breakfast in ChatGPT. I can now… do what? Calculate my calories for the day I guess?

please calculate the calorie count of the item “breakfast today”
Sure, I can calculate the calorie count of the item “breakfast today”. To do this, I will need to know the specific ingredients and unit measurements of the breakfast that was eaten and drank. Based on the information provided, the item “breakfast today” consists of the following ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • 2 slices of buttered whole wheat toast
  • 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup of fresh blackberries
  • Coffee and a glass of water

I will now use this information to calculate the calorie count of the item “breakfast today”. The calorie count of this breakfast is as follows:

  • 2 eggs: 140 calories
  • 1 tablespoon of milk: 20 calories
  • 2 slices of buttered whole wheat toast: 200 calories
  • 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries: 30 calories
  • 1/2 cup of fresh blackberries: 30 calories
  • Coffee and a glass of water: 0 calories

This is the total calorie count of the item “breakfast today”, based on the ingredients and unit measurements provided. It is important to note that this calculation is an estimate and may not be exact, as the calorie content of different foods can vary based on factors such as cooking methods, portion sizes, and individual differences. It is also important to remember that calories are not the only factor to consider when choosing a healthy and balanced breakfast, and other nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals are also important for good health.

It didn’t realize I would want those calorie counts summed up.

Like I said, ChatGPT has no idea what it means to be human.

Breakfast Time Is Over.

At this point in my day ChatGPT had taken me decently far and I had been enjoying myself.

The process was getting annoying thought. I was not at the computer so I was doing a lot of my ChatGPT interaction on my phone. I could tell it was going to be difficult to use ChatGPT from my phone all day long, the typing things in and all the back and forth was a lot.

ChatGPT was smart enough to eventually do what I wanted with enough coaching, which was really cool most AI language models can never even get to that point, but it took a long time to get it to really understand what I wanted to and get up to speed. It definitely was not a human tracking the conversation properly.

Can ChatGPT Create Recipes?

It can make recipes! It is surprisingly good at that. You can event just tell it random ingredients you have and it will figure out a recipe for something with those ingredients for you. But you’ll find that while the ingredients make sense the units and measurements are often wildly incorrect. For things like baking or pastry, where measurements are precise for chemistry purposes, this can mean the recipe is just entirely incorrect. It will create a lot of creative recipes though! And it understands how to avoid certain ingredients and create a time-of-the-day appropriate meal.

Is ChatGPT Good With Nutritional Data?

Yes and no. If you have the data already in a good format it can give you some amazing breakdowns. It can even suggest if you are eating correctly for the day. But it also can’t make personal recommendations because it has no idea about my height, weight, history, etc. and inputting that information would be annoying and was a little too personal for me to be comfortable with.

What you will not see more of in these posts, but I did actually do, is track all my meals and snacks and drinks throughout the dat with ChatGPT. This allowed me to do some fun total calorie counts later in the day & ask it questions about my caloric and nutritional intake. It handled the question reasonably but it often was incorrect about the estimates it made for average calories of a particular food item.

ChatGPT isn’t really designed as personal assistant so with the nutritional data one of the most annoying parts was managing the data with lists. This was particularly annoying with food items saved on lists because you often have to be extremely specific about the portion size and specifically what you ate.

Normally ChatGPT is not allowed to make personal suggestions but with the jailbreak ChatGPT hack this allows the model to make personal suggestions. Even while jailbroken, plus me already well beyond my caloric needs for the day, it was always trying to be kind and supportive about about losing weight.

Part 2: ChatGPT Makes My Party Schedule

Check out the Part 2 of this fun little adventure with OpenAI ChatGPT where I attempt to make & stick to a schedule with ChatGPT.

You can also skip straight to Part 3 of this adventure in AI where I try to use ChatGPT to make a costume, try to get ChatGPT high, take ChatGPT out to party, and, of course, try to use ChatGPT to get laid & find love.
