Ask advice from a historical figure

How to ask someone from the past for advice using ChatGPT

knights

Once people are dead you can not talk with them. That's the point of being dead. But famous people who have a strong position in history are still available via ChatGPT if you use the right prompt. Try this one:


"Imagine if famous historical figures used ChatGPT for advice. Write a (hilarious) conversation between ChatGPT and a well-known historical figure."


This prompt combines humor with a surprising twist, as it encourages people to think about how historical figures would interact with modern AI technology. The resulting conversations can be quite amusing, as they may involve anachronisms or unexpected interactions between the historical figure and ChatGPT.


You can also just ask: "How would xxx respond to this question?" Kind of the modern WWJD ;-)
