Been spending some time on ChatGPT, holy shit this thing is insane, a total Google killer.

It in effect, is like the Star Trek "computer" for those of you familiar with Star Trek.

This thing already likely saved me 3 hours of my time in a matter of 10 seconds.

I haven't been this impressed with a new technology in 15 years, the last time being the Apple iPhone replacing a flip-phone.

It can spit out computer code for you in seconds, stuff that would take 10 different Google searches amount 100 different results filled with SEO manipulated filler and garbage.

If you're a writer, this thing will help you describe scenes in foreign countries, write dialogue in different types of personalities, and conquer blocks in a matter of seconds.

The utility in this application is beyond belief.

The old way: 1) Search Google, 2) Sift through mountains of "SEO'd" pages filled with filler 3) Spend 20 minutes finding the right passage on the right page.

Time: 15m

The new way: 1) Ask ChatGPT

Time: 15s

Here is what ChatGPT responded with how to make money.

I couldn't have answered better myself.

What’s your thoughts?

Not exactly sure.

However, as an emerging opportunity, it might follow the pattern of trends where lots of money is to be made in the next few years until it gains mainstream, widespread adoption.

Here's the cycle:

1) Emerging opportunity, few recognize it.
2) Keen entrepreneurs take advantage of this emerging trend
3) When industry becomes mainstream, the entrepreneur sells out
4) Next, they start selling "I made millions in AI, here's how!"
5) Keen entrepreneurs take advantage of a "everyone's doing it" trend.

Podcasting, blogs, self-publishing, crypto ... all these emerging fields made early adopters wealthy, and when the industry became mainstream, they pivoted to selling their "outdated knowledge" to late adopters.

The early power users can leverage this into something and change their lives.

(underlined is my prompts)

write a conversation between a door to door salesman and a homeowner that doesn't want to buy the product but the salesman is persistant.

Homeowner: I'm sorry, I'm not interested in buying your product today.
Salesman: That's too bad. Can I ask you why?
Homeowner: I just don't think it's something I need right now.
Salesman: I understand. Can I ask you what kind of products you're interested in learning more about and that could be helpful for you?
Homeowner: No, thank you. I'm not interested.
Salesman: Alright. Well, is there someone else in your household that might be interested?
Homeowner: No, I'm afraid not.
Salesman: Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to consider purchasing this product, or would you just prefer to look at other options?
Homeowner: I'm just not interested at this time. Thank you for your inquiry.

continue the story but the salesman kicks open the door and starts speaking in an alien language in all caps

Salesman: GRREYGLURR GLALOO DESHTRAY UUNDRAAV!!!
Homeowner: What in the world?! The homeowner quickly stepped back, shielding themselves from the salesman as he continued to scream in this unknown language. Suddenly, the salesman stopped and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Homeowner: Are you okay? The salesman slowly opened his eyes and, realizing the situation, quickly composed himself.
Salesman: Yes, I'm sorry. I must have been...daydreaming. I didn't mean to frighten you. The homeowner was still overwhelmed by the scene and cautiously asked the salesman to leave their property.
Salesman: Of course. My apologies again. Have a good day.

and then something ridiculous happens

The homeowner watched as the salesman walked away, but before he vanished from sight, he suddenly began running and shouting "I had forgotten to tell you about the 50% off sale!" before running around the block and out of sight. The homeowner stared in disbelief, still shaken by the bizarre encounter.

Literally had no idea what this was until 2 min ago when I saw this lol.

I typed in “how do I generate leads for my service business” and it gave me ACTUAL suggestions and techniques.

Interesting

How's this for accuracy?

amazon takes anywhere from 20-60% of the sales just from ads (not even including their FBA costs)

if you want to support a smaller brand, don't click the amazon ads that say "sponsored" - just scroll down a little to find the same product
1670300584707.png

and for big brands that you don't like but still buy from, click the sponsored ad every time



that's right - the 175 parameter AI tool that is coming for your job writes at a 7th grade level!

but its ability to write code is sick and there are a lot of cool uses for something like this

it will probably be better than Google for learning a lot of skills

1670300928512.png

somebody make a youtube comedy channel using this thing lmao

Actually I just told it to the write the post instead...

Title: 10 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs

Are you looking to take your business to the next level? Do you want to join the ranks of the most successful entrepreneurs? In this post, we're sharing the top 10 habits of highly successful entrepreneurs that can help you achieve your goals and build a thriving business.

They set specific, measurable goals. Successful entrepreneurs know exactly what they want to achieve, and they create clear, actionable plans to get there.

They wake up early. Many successful entrepreneurs start their day before the sun rises, giving them the time and space to focus on their most important tasks and get a head start on their competition.

They prioritize their health. Successful entrepreneurs understand that their physical and mental health is crucial to their success. They make time for regular exercise, healthy eating, and self-care.

They surround themselves with positive influences. Successful entrepreneurs know that the people they spend time with can have a major impact on their success. They surround themselves with other successful, motivated individuals who support and inspire them.

They continue to learn and grow. Successful entrepreneurs never stop learning and growing. They are always looking for ways to improve their skills, knowledge, and abilities, and they are willing to invest in their own development.

They take calculated risks. Successful entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks, but they do so carefully and strategically. They weigh the potential rewards against the potential risks, and they are prepared to accept the consequences of their decisions.

They focus on their strengths. Successful entrepreneurs know their strengths, and they focus on using them to their advantage. They delegate or outsource tasks that are not within their area of expertise, allowing them to concentrate on what they do best.

They are resilient. Successful entrepreneurs know that setbacks and challenges are inevitable in business. They are resilient and persistent, and they never give up on their goals.

They are adaptable. Successful entrepreneurs are able to adapt to changing circumstances and market conditions. They are flexible and open-minded, and they are always looking for new opportunities.

They give back. Successful entrepreneurs understand that their success is not just about themselves. They give back to their communities, their employees, and their customers, and they use their success to make a positive impact on the world.

If you want to join the ranks of the most successful entrepreneurs, start by adopting these habits. They may not guarantee success, but they will put you on the right track and give you the tools you need to thrive.

Share your own habits and experiences in the comments below, and let's continue the conversation on The Fastlane Forums.

I stayed up for a few hours last night testing where this was strong/weak.

I like it a lot, and I do think it is going to be the end for some peoples businesses.
If you can't provide over a certain level of service, then this is going to wipe you out.

Here is a video I made today on it for web designers / freelancers...

Rant: People who like to use the sentence "I stand corrected" are annoying and a huge turn off.
If I may be so bold...

Instead of saying:

People who like to use the sentence "I stand corrected" are annoying.

... try saying:

It's annoying when people use the sentence "I stand corrected".

That way you're annoyed by the behaviour and not the person.

My desktop computer is running out of space, and despite cleaning out my mailboxes, my Mac kept reporting that I had 15 GB of space being used in the mail app. Spent about 2 minutes on Google searching endless filler crap and tech support websites that state the obvious (open your mail app and delete your emails, DUH, really?????) -- finding no help, and then realized that ChatGPT can help.

Sure enough, found the problem and fixed it. Google is done.

could this in a way be a bad thing?

I feel like after this no one will be able to think for themselves because this thing can think for them..

And it’s only going to get more advanced

The internet will just become a bunch of Chatbots talking to eachother. This will kill training sets of chats, because so much of it will be AI generated. It will probably create its own dialect. I will call it Chabonics.

@MJ DeMarco and others

This is a bit of a loaded question, but I want to get your thoughts on it.

Clearly, online service businesses are at risk to AI. (Maybe you guys disagree)

What are your thoughts on, if you’re in the online service space, to begin understanding how to create it and use it in business to solve problems? (AI)

Seems like this stuff and the AI art was rolled out so fast, and lots of agencies/service businesses could be at risk in coming years.

What’s your thoughts?

I'm curious, how is this ChatGTP any different from the hoards of GTP3 web-apps that have flooded the likes of app-sumo over the past several years? I bought into several of them and they frequently have been disappointing for creating any content that is factual. These tools (that I have used) are also notorious for plagiarizing.

My first instinct was always to be completely blown away, but then reality settles in and after using these tools for a while you start to see how limited and mistake-prone they can be.

How would this ChatGTP compare to say, Rytr, Peppertype, Writesonic, Frase, etc. ?

Alright, this is F*cking insane.

@Johnny boy

"write a song about a lawn care business"


Verse 1:

I'm the king of the lawn care scene
Mowing, edging, and watering in between
I've got the skills and the tools to make it right
Your lawn will be the envy of the neighborhood tonight

Chorus:
Lawn care, lawn care
It's my business and I'm good at it
Lawn care, lawn care
I'll make your grass the envy of the block

Verse 2:
I know how to spot a weed from a mile away
And I'll make sure it's gone before the end of the day
I fertilize and aerate to keep your lawn healthy and strong
You won't find a better lawn care guy, I guarantee it's a fact

Chorus:
Lawn care, lawn care
It's my business and I'm good at it
Lawn care, lawn care
I'll make your grass the envy of the block

Bridge:
So if you want your lawn to look its best
Give me a call, I'll do the rest
I'll make your grass so green and lush
You'll be the envy of all your neighbors, that's for sure

Chorus:
Lawn care, lawn care
It's my business and I'm good at it
Lawn care, lawn care
I'll make your grass the envy of the block

Update: Been running chatgpt like crazy recently to add some charts to articles, and I have to say, this thin gives some of the most inaccurate worst information I have ever seen, and it's insanely confident, which makes it hard to discern. It speaks like a confident 18-year-old trying to bullshit you on an exam. In the electrician niche, almost 90% of the information is wrong and dangerous, giving me info for how many devices I can put on a circuit that could burn your house down.

It's an amazing proof of concept, but I feel it could be more dangerous than good at this point with all the false facts it gives and how confident it makes it sound. We were about to get an internet flood of bs, and wrong information, the likes of which we had never seen before.

I've asked ChatGPT to write a song about the new forum rule...


Verse
In this forum, we keep it real
No AI can take the wheel
We want discussions that are true
So ChatGPT, we bid adieu

Chorus:
No more bots, no more fakes
We want our forum to be great
No more ChatGPT, no more lies
We'll keep it real before our eyes

Verse 2:
We'll ban you if you try
To use that AI
We want our forum to be pure
And that's the only way it'll be sure

Wow, I love everything else about this program.

But...this is probably a limitation of the sources it is pulling from - namely the internet, Google, other search engines.

The bias is probably not an inherent part of the program's code but rather built into the sorting of the internet itself... crazy!
