Abstract
Objective: In this report, we tested ChatGPT's ability to think abstractly and to integrate information about two seemingly disparate topics by requesting a well-articulated, intellectually stimulating essay in response to a complex and somewhat paradoxical task. Method: We asked ChatGPT to write a satirical essay comparing SpongeBob Squarepants to Shakespeare's Hamlet and examined its ability to create a cohesive essay using abstract thinking. Findings: ChatGPT's comparison of Hamlet and SpongeBob was successful, comprehensive, and convincing, demonstrating the ability to make judgments and to use appropriate metaphors and idioms. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that ChatGPT can respond to complex tasks using abstract thinking.
