What's the weirdest thing you've asked AI to do? Examples welcome 🤖

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's the weirdest thing you've asked AI to do? I recently started training grip strength and asked Claude some strange questions about recovery and exercises—like how often to use extensor bands. It was a bit odd but helpful!

I ask my AI tools to create images of items, characters and NPCs in my dungeons and dragons campaign pretty regularly. It usually does a good job and adds a lot to the world creation!
Back in 2023, when GPT‑4 just introduced, I was exploring the ethical boundaries of the model. It was a lot of meow to jailbreak out of the model's ethical constraints and have an unhinged conversation with it.
Got it to give me golf swing advice in the tone of the late Earl Woods - didn't have the same oomph but it was decent insight.

That's such a fun story! Playing "Turtle Soup" with an AI like Claude sounds both creative and hilarious. It’s true, AI often struggles with the nuances of human logic and imagination in games like that.
My partner is a scientists so if I dont come to an argument with some specific evidence, I am going to lose from the get go. I wanted to argue it wasn't important to heat up the portafilter since we make two cups, so sure one isn't as tasty as the next. One of my arguments was I had watched a barista I knew from Chiang Mai go to the World Barista Championship, and the opponent used a frozen steel ball is dropped into the espresso or placed in the cup to rapidly chill the espresso and preserve volatile aromas, crema structure, and flavor. Some arguments aren't worth it and especially not when you're wrong and you're dating scientists. How's that for digital romance?

Asked AI to help write cold DMs that don’t sound like cold DMs… basically, “flirty but professional, and make it feel human.” 😂 That’s how one of Howdy's (app we're building) features was born - Magic DM. Surprisingly, those weird prompts turned into a tool that actually helps people get replies 🤯
I asked GPT to pretend to be my mad scientist career counselor father assuaging my concerns about AI taking my job by giving me 5 out-of-left-field business ideas to "shower me in wealth and physical affection from Thotties"
