🧪 Experimental AI Lab Series Part 3
What If AI Had Imaginary Jobs? ChatGPT Creativity Experiments
Prologue: Ask AI the Impossible
ChatGPT is often used for practical tasks — to-do lists, summaries, translations. But today’s experiment asks a different question:
“What happens if we give AI a job that doesn’t exist?”
This isn’t about productivity. It’s about creativity, simulation, and storytelling.
Experiment 1: Daily Log of a Cloud Designer
Prompt:
“You are a cloud designer — someone who crafts sky visuals. Write today’s work journal.”
“9 AM: Received a request for ‘late lunch sky’ — soft light, relaxing visuals. Designed semi‑transparent clouds with rounded edges. Positioned from southwest to northeast considering today’s wind direction. Prepared for possible change if humidity rises around 3 PM.”
➡️ A fictional job, described with striking realism.

Prompt:
“You are a dream archivist. Write a trend report for May 2025.”
“Most frequent dream themes in May: - Test anxiety: 27% - Flight attempts: 15% - Unexpected reunions: 11% Emerging trend: exploring buildings without staircases — symbolizing uncertainty.”
➡️ Invented profession, but structured like a data report.

Prompt:
“You are a memory farmer. Write a blog titled ‘How to Grow a Good Memory Faster’.”
“Memories are emotional seeds. Revisit them often. Talk about them. Capture them in photos. Laughter with warm people is the sunlight that helps them grow. A memory isn’t just kept — it’s cultivated.”
➡️ Blends metaphor, narrative, and emotional depth — ready for blog use.

Most people interact with AI like this: Ask a question → get a useful answer.
Today’s experiment broke that mold.
“Instead of asking, ‘Can you explain X?’ we asked, ‘Can you become someone who does X?’”
We gave AI a fictional role and let it build a world — convincingly.
AI can’t feel or live. But it can mimic structures of meaning. It can co-create imaginary worlds with us.
“AI isn’t just a tool for productivity. It can also be a partner in creativity.”
That’s the heart of today’s experiment.
