By now, everyone should have experience using AI chatbots here and there. Whether you are using ChatGPT or DeepSeek, it already has a profound impact on our day-to-day activities. Other than work-related, there are 3 surprising personal things you can do with ChatGPT.
While most people think ChatGPT is great for content writing, coding, or productivity hacks, there is something really interesting we can do with ChatGPT. And before I begin, I will explain some context here.
In our lives, as human beings, we always live by hope. There is hope for a dream career, hope for a dream house, and of course, there is hope to get out of some rabbit holes that we are stuck in. Can ChatGPT help with these hopes and give us a plan to achieve these dreams?
That is where I decided to do some experiments with ChatGPT. To understand if it can help provide some perspective and planning to help us achieve our dreams.
Before we discuss, let me set the disclaimer here. I am writing for the purpose of experimenting with how far this ChatGPT can go. Whether it’s the real or the right way to approach, it has to be grounded in reality. In no way am I suggesting that this is a definite way to achieve these dreams. 🙏
1. Things You Can Do with ChatGPT – Career Advisor
Discover Your Feng Shui Career Element with ChatGPT
Many a time, as a Chinese, typically we always hear some people will seek a Feng Shui master out to get a reading to advise on the destiny for life or the year ahead. As mentioned in my other articles, I always believe feng shui is a science, less on the superstitious side. And my approach towards Feng Shui has always been on a good-to-know basis, rather than just totally immersing in it. (Feng Shui is actually being taught in School!)
So, I wonder, can ChatGPT be my Feng Shui Master? How knowledgeable will my “FengshuiGPT” work?
Among the unexpected things you can do with ChatGPT, career guidance through Chinese metaphysics is a good possibility. By analyzing your Four Pillars of Destiny (BaZi), ChatGPT can explain your destiny pillars like a Pro Fengshui Master.
What Are the Four Pillars of Destiny (BaZi)?
In Feng Shui terms, your birth year, month, day, and hour are each associated with a combination of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. These map to five elements:
- Wood
- Fire
- Earth
- Metal
- Water
Your dominant element can represent your personality strengths, compatibility with certain industries, and even good or challenging years.
How to Use ChatGPT for a Feng Shui Career Reading – My Scenario Prompt
Sample prompt:
” Act as my feng shui master, to advise me on my destiny reading. My date of birth is 20 May 1978, 11 am morning. Read my 4 pillars of destiny, my feng shui element, and discuss what element is suitable for me in my career, and what element can help me to generate wealth.”
Note: This is not my personal information. If you are concerned about privacy, please refrain from doing this!
This is how I use ChatGPT as Feng Shui Master👆
You will receive:
- Your dominant feng shui element
- Elemental interpretations (e.g., Water = analytical, Metal = structure)
- Matching career compatibility types based on your element (Fire = performer, Earth = teacher)
- Adjustment plans to overcome element weakness
As you can see from the video above, it is quite amazing that it gives a complete report about my pillar of destiny and advisory. I also follow up on subsequent prompts to ask for adjustments to optimize my career according to my elements.
Sample prompt:
” If I am in sales role, how does that work well in terms of my element, and how do I plan the career path from here if there is something lacking, and what advic,e according to this readin,g should I plan and adjust.”
Interestingly, it gave a comprehensive adjustment plan to optimize your career, identifying your potential “gaps” and how you can overcome them by strengthening your weaknesses.
Here you go. The complete analysis of your Feng Shui destiny reading. It looks quite convincing. Will you now still seek Feng Shui’s master? (This is not advice. You have to decide for yourself. This is just an experiment!)
TL;DR: One of the most introspective things you can do with ChatGPT is using it to connect ancient wisdom with modern decision-making.
2. Things You Can do With ChatGPT: Plan Your Dream House
Imagine the Dream — Then Reverse Engineer It with AI
I believe everyone harbours some hope of getting their dream house. One of the more empowering things you can do with ChatGPT is to break down your dream into achievable stages. So, I decided to address this hope with a ChatGPT experiment to create a plan for our dream house.
The scenario? Own a $5 million landed home in Singapore with a $5,000/month salary. Sounds outrageous? That’s why we need ChatGPT to give a plan that is grounded on safe and grounding principles. I decided to ask him to act like Warren Buffett, the legendary investor who practices the grounding investing principle to create a plan.
How to Use ChatGPT to Achieve a Dream House Plan– My Scenario Prompt
Sample Prompt:
“Act as Warren Buffett, help me create a long-term plan to own a $5M freehold landed property in Singapore. I currently earn $5,000/month and take home $4,000. Assume I have no savings today. Suggest a 10-year roadmap. Provide action plan if needed on what it takes, including hustle, climbing career ladder or starting a business. Ensure this 10 year plan to include milestone review as a checkpoint to determine where we are in the goal. Do plan it in a safe and reality manner and ensuring it is grounded on sound principles and not get rich scheme following Warren buffett philosophy. The idea is to provide an action plan for us to achieve the dream.”
Using ChatGPT to plan your dream house! 👆
You will receive:
- Financial projections in milestone checkpoints
- Recommended saving plans
- Expected compounded saving rate
- Possible income streams
As you can see in the video, it gives a comprehensive plan and projections in different milestones. Then, like in any financial planning, I ask for possible risks that we should look out for in the plan.
Sample Prompt:
“Like in any financial plan, there will be risks. Highlight the risks that can possibly derails the plan or milestone goals.”
You will receive:
- Risks in Job or Career
- Risks in Macroeconomics and Property Economics
- Risks in Regulation or Taxation changes
- Risks in Unexpected Personal or Family events
I went on to continue adjusting the plan by giving it a longer runway to achieve the dream house goal. As you can see, within minutes of brainstorming, we have created a plan to achieve our dream house.
TL;DR: Among the more visionary things you can do with ChatGPT, planning a life upgrade can be one of the possibilities. After all, who wouldn’t want to improve their own life? Give it a spin, whether your goal is big or small!
3. Create a Get-Out-of-Debt Plan with ChatGPT
Sometimes in life, we can get stuck in some rabbit holes and try to get out. One of the common rabbit holes that people experience in life is having debt. Whether you ran up a debt due to poor spending or because of a school loan or family family-related event, we can all agree that we want to repay these loans fast.
One of the things you can do with ChatGPT is to simulate and create a faster repayment plan.
Here’s my scenario:
- Debt: $50,000
- Income: $5,000/month ($4,000 take-home)
- Repayment: $1,500/month
Using ChatGPT to get you out of the rabbit hole! Like Dept repayment plan👆
Sample Prompt:
“Act like Warren Buffett, now provide an advice on how do I get out of debt. I am having a debt of 50,000 . If my monthly income is 5,000, with take home is about 4000, and my monthly repayment of this debt is about 1,500, explain how long I will complete this payment of debt, suggest action plan on how can I accelerate this repayment. Including ideas like budgetary habits, start a side hustle and etc.”
You will receive:
- Assessment on repayment rate and schedule
- Strategic ideas on how to accelerate repayment
- Mindset Change
As you can see, it gives an overall repayment schedule, and provides strategic ideas on how to repay faster as well as advising on the need for mindset change.
Subsequently, I also asked for relevant skillsets to acquire to expand the income streams, and also weigh the priority in budgetary spending habits versus expanding income streams. ChatGPT can advise us on the priority needed for not just short-term but also long-term planning.
TL;DR: One of the most practical things you can do with ChatGPT is to overcome your financial rabbit hole by designing a forward-looking plan.
Final Take: Things You Can Do With ChatGPT
My final take is that ChatGPT and other AI chatbots are like magicians. They can be a good advisor in minutes. Of course, I like to caution here. It is important for us to think critically, to decide if the plan or advice that is given is sound enough or factually correct.
What I just did here it’s all for experimenting with the possibility. And when used right, like any technology before us, things you can do with ChatGPT go beyond tasks — they touch dreams or change lifestyle, like what happens when a smartphone enters our life.
Whether you want a feng shui-inspired career pivot, a path to property, or a way out of debt, AI can help you simulate, plan, and guide.
So go ahead. At least live out your hope, create a plan, and then act on it.
Your life may just improve!
