I tried replacing 30 minutes of scrolling with ChatGPT-generated real-world challenges — and it changed my evenings

Cell phone was left on an outdoor table with a person's back and a green city in the background.

I recently spent a day giving my two-year-old son a taste of the kind of childhood I remembered from the 1990s with a little help from ChatGPT. Unsurprisingly, that was a fairly screen-free experience, so I thought it might be worth trying something similar for myself. I asked the AI chatbot to give me a challenge of a couple of evenings of activities that would be similarly screen-free, and the result really caught me off guard.

Specifically, I told the AI chatbot to "Replace 30 minutes of mindless scrolling in my evening with a real-world challenge. The challenge should take about 20 to 30 minutes and get me away from my phone or computer."
