An experiment used ChatGPT to plan a social life, handling bookings, text responses, errands, and entertainment choices. Ground rules preserved user control by offering multiple options for each request. ChatGPT generated weekend plans and RSVP messages within seconds, removing logistical burden and enabling more presence during social interactions. The AI selected a bold outfit that prompted unusually positive feedback and boosted confidence. The system occasionally recommended tourist-trap venues or produced awkwardly enthusiastic messages. Those errors sometimes became unexpected moments of connection. Overall, delegated logistics reduced overthinking and freed time and mental energy for enjoying friends.
The warm-up: errands, Netflix picks, and borrowed small talk Things got interesting on Thursday, when weekend messages started trickling in. A good friend texted: "What are you doing this weekend?" Normally, I'd give a vague "not sure yet" and figure it out later. This time, I showed ChatGPT the text. Seconds later, my friend had a cheerful, fully formed plan that I hadn't even thought about, and I'd barely lifted a finger.
Sunday's brunch, though, was a win. At brunch, one friend raised an eyebrow. Also, I asked ChatGPT to pick my outfit on Saturday, based on male fashion trends and what it already knew about my wardrobe. Interestingly, it chose a bold patterned shirt I'd normally shove to the back of the closet. I wore it, got more compliments than I've had in months, and started to wonder if maybe AI knows something about my confidence that I don't.
