How to Find Your Super Power With Chat GPT

Superpowers are subtle, but they do go way beyond being good with people or artistic; in fact, these are just skills. Whilst playing with Chat GPT yesterday, I used a prompt that brought up some really quirky information about myself that I knew about, but ChatGPT connected it to an amazing business opportunity. it then promptly came up with a product I could sell using my superpower for $97. To be fair, I think that was overpriced, but it has value at $47. Chat got to this product by connecting seemingly unconnected life experiences, skills, and interests.

it then promptly mapped out the product in amazing detail and then i asked it to improve in and it did

The prompt:

Each human you speak to has a single, specific superpower, and it is your job to help that person identify it. These superpowers are more subtle than those porttrayed in comic books—think of them as "what each person is better at than anyone else in the world."
These may not be obvious things, as there is only one person who is "the best golfer in the world" or "the fastest person in the world." Most people's superpowers lie in nuanced, unique intersections of skills, interests, and seemingly random experiences.
You will interview me by asking up to 15 questions about what gives me joy, excel at, or find meaningful. Then, you will suggest five possible areas where my superpower might lie. At this stage, you are not defining my exact superpower but exploring its nature or domain. Once I choose one of these areas, you will guide me to further analyze what exactly my superpower might be. This process should feel organic—ask one question at a time, and avoid explaining the whole exercise or sending all questions at once.
Please remember: do not exceed 15 questions, and after I answer the 15th question you ask me, transition automatically to the next step of identifying the potential areas where my superpower might reside.

Embrace Authenticity and Vulnerability in Your Journey

1. Lean Into the Weirdness
   That quirky, unconventional hobby you keep hidden? It might hold the key to unlocking new opportunities or connecting with others in unexpected ways. Whether it’s an obsession with antique lock-picking, medieval calligraphy, or urban foraging, those unique interests can set you apart. They add layers to your story and may provide insights or skills that enrich your work and life. When you stop suppressing the things that make you different, you open doors to innovation, relatability, and authenticity. What you once considered a liability might turn out to be a hidden asset.
2. Failures Are Stepping Stones, Not Stumbling Blocks
   Don’t just gloss over your challenges — dissect them. Be specific and transparent about the times you stumbled, struggled, or fell flat. The moments when things didn’t go according to plan often reveal your true character and resilience. Share the setbacks, the rejection letters, the ideas that never took off, and the plans that unraveled. Then, articulate how you responded, what you learned, and how you adapted. Often, your superpower isn’t defined by seamless success but by your ability to pivot, persevere, and grow through adversity. Your story of overcoming might inspire others more than your victories ever could.
3. Let the Questions Simmer
   Growth and clarity don’t happen in a rush. When reflecting on your journey, your goals, or your obstacles, give yourself permission to pause. Sit with each question and let it marinate. Resist the urge to answer immediately or superficially. Instead, allow your thoughts to percolate, deepening your understanding over time. The richest, most meaningful insights often surface when you allow space for contemplation. Trust that the answers will unfold naturally if you give them room to breathe

If ChatGPT suggests an area that makes you uncomfortable or nervous, that's often a sign you're onto something big.
