What's the weirdest thing you've asked AI to do? Examples welcome 🤖
by•
I've recently gotten into training grip strength and since it’s a new area of strength training for me, I’ve been asking Claude a lot of weird questions about training and recovery techniques. So now, my chat history is a ton of stuff about work with the occasional odd question about how often I should be using extensor bands haha
What are some of the strangest things you've asked AI to help with? Did it actually help?
Drop your examples below! Bonus points if it was surprisingly helpful 😄

@rrhoover Haha, I may end up regretting asking this
I once asked AI to help me figure out how to politely leave a friend group chat without it sounding like a dramatic exit :)

I’ve asked for some help with diy sewing projects. Just trying to figure out how to make certain things. Worked medium well!

@catt_marroll Very cool! My default is still YouTube for DIY projects. I'll have to try Claude the next time I have one to see how it works.
I took some pictures from Intraoral camera and asked chatgpt to analyse. It said I had a cavity in my tooth, so I went to the dentist and got it fixed. Not sure if this is weird enough :D
To produce a sound inventory of the constructed language Esperanto and map it onto phonemes from Polish, so that I could generate (pretty good) text-to-speech for Esperanto by transliterating it into spoken Polish first.
Bet nobody expected that one!
PS: it did a good job and it resulted in a tool people use to generate Esperanto speech now!

I have used AI for routine purposes too, like a training program. But I can't say that all my requests are strange
minimalist phone: creating folders
I would rather not share my weird requests, but one of the things I was curious about (don't ask why) – How to make cauterisation. :D

I recently asked claude to give me the exact specifications of a missing set of screws for my wife's handbag clasp that came off (these are tiny 2mm screws). I uploaded the image and asked it give me a thread count, depth and possible material. It did its analysis and gave me the exact size and how to order it off amazon. I took the leap and they turned out to be the right size, I was able to repair her handbag myself.
My next task for Claude is to help me restore a LV wallet I got from Japan. Learning to do some leatherwork through it.
I asked it to define me based on all our chat history. The output was pretty wild! :)
