Man Takes GPT-4’s Advice To ‘Make As Much Money As Possible,’ His New Business Became Profitable Within A Day
The arrival of the new AI (artificial intelligence) tool GPT-4 has intrigued many about the technology on the internet. To test out the extent of the AI’s abilities, Twitter user and Circus Dot Fish Founder Jackson Fall took to the micro-blogging site, where he asked the AI to make him “as much money as possible.”
Fall gave the ChatGPT successor a budget of USD 100 and asked the chatbot to make him money. He informed people on Twitter, “I’m acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.” Fall tried to test out the AI and see whether it will be able to make smart investments and build an online business.
Not long after Fall asked the robot the big question, it came up with a game plan. GPT-4 told Fall to start an “affiliate marketing site making content around eco-friendly and sustainable living products.” After a few hitches, the AI and human duo landed on the domain name, GreenGadgetGuru.com.
Fall then asked the AI to come up with a prompt for DALL-E to whip up a logo for their brand. After getting the prompt ideas, Fall wasn’t so sure. “As a branding designer, it’s taking everything in me not to tell it this is a BAD idea. But here we are.” He nonetheless stuck to the bot’s plan.
The designer then asked GPT to provide a website layout. Soon after, the formidable partners had come up with their initial content on the website: “Our first piece of content: 10 Must-Have Eco-Friendly Kitchen Gadgets for Sustainable Cooking.” What was fascinating was that the chatbot was citing real products in the article.
Ultimately, after some investment in ads on social media, the duo launched the website officially. After just a day of making the site, Fall and GPT have already made headway with a profit of USD 164 (about Rs 13,500). Fall breathed a sign of relief, “Our jobs are still safe.”
Soon Fall came back to the platform with an update and wrote, “DMs are flooded. Cash on hand: $1,378.84 ($878.84 previous balance + $500 new investment). The company is currently valued at $25,000, considering the recent $500 investment for 2%. Not taking any more investors unless the terms are highly favorable.”
