Generating content for tabletop gaming with my friends (especially wacky ideas, like character names themed after items on the Taco Bell menu)
I had to buy some spare tools where I cared more about price than quality and it helped me choose some suitable brands
As mentioned, you can tell it a bit about a person (and feed in their wishlist if they have one) and it'll help you pick something they'll probably like
Finding something to do to spend an afternoon in a city while traveling
In general, anything where there is no objective best answer (meaning I can ask it to generate multiple possibilities and filter out the bad ideas) and where I value speed over correctness.

I've been going ham with this. Pay for ChatGPT Plus for work, so GPT-4's been helping me design encounters, plan sessions, and brainstorm ideas for one-shots. It gives me a sort of bland, vanilla idea for something, I suggest a twist on it, it goes, "oh great idea, here that is with your changes:" and I iterate with it from there.
Likewise I love theming characters, plotlines, and settings after songs, bands and albums, so I'll dump in a bunch of lyrics and ask ChatGPT to help me intertwine subtle references into descriptions, names, and plot points.
