In an era of AI's growing capabilities and influences, recent advancements are reshaping HCI and CSCW's view of AI as mere tools. Playful interactions with AI systems naturally emerged as a way for users to make sense of the ever-changing technology. However, these emergent and playful interactions are underexamined. We target this gap by investigating playful interactions exhibited by users of a recently trending powerful AI technology, ChatGPT. Through a thematic analysis of 372 user-generated posts on the ChatGPT subreddit, we found that a substantial portion of user discourse revolves around playful interactions. The analysis further allowed us to construct a preliminary taxonomy to describe these interactions, categorizing them into six types: reflecting, jesting, imitating, challenging, tricking, and contriving; each included sub-categories. Overall, this study contributes to the field of HCI and CSCW by illuminating the multifaceted nature of playful interactions with AI, underlining their significance in shaping the human-AI relationship.
