ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

[Blacklynx]

Pretty interesting developments going on. Apparently ChatGPT starting today has started to message users out of the blue. It slips into your DM's. This is based on the memory function but has people freaking out.

I was stuck on a coding problem for 2 weeks. It dragged on because I was using a new language and a new library, and I kept almost solving the problem. Last night, I gave up, and tried an LLM for the very first time. After I described what I was trying to do, the free ChatGPT tier gave me a correct code snippet in like 10 seconds. I'll never get stuck on a coding problem again. Now I'm a believer.

I agree. The AI has helped me tremendously in the course of this upgrade as well, which I didn't expect.

All businesses that essentially sell information will be extinct within a couple years. AI will be able to generate any accurate information you could want. And with eventually it will even be able to do it for you.

For example: if you want to learn about digital marketing so you can run FB ads you probably will buy a book, a course, or watch a bunch of YouTube videos.

Soon you will just ask AI to teach you. You can do that now but the results are lackluster but AI is massively improving every year.

Soon you won’t even have to ask it to teach you, rather you just tell it what you want and it will do it for you.

Going to be very interesting.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Again, I'm astounded at how many problems the AI has helped me figure out here at the forum. I'm guessing it has saved me countless hours in trying to get this place back up to normal.

Just the latest solve among many...

 

[FJ123]

I can't afford a therapist so I use ChatGPT to talk me through my problems.

It works quite well.. but I'm worried about what Open AI is going to do with my conversation data.

Once again ChatGPT saves the day ... a problem I've been wrestling with for 4 days resolved in about 2 minutes.

Once again ChatGPT saves the day ... a problem I've been wrestling with for 4 days resolved in about 2 minutes.

Yep, more and more I find myself using ChatGPT to solve problems that are just out of my reach.

This week I used it to create what is essentially a free version of Quickbooks inside Google Sheets using the Google Apps Script. Now I can do my business and personal finances in about 5 minutes every week and most of the process is automated.

Have you thought about creating GPT for yourself? There is one for Alex Hormozi available as a GPT. I thought it would be super able to discuss things and questions and see them from your perspective but you u can't have time to answer everything by yourself personally. It would be really cool to discuss your books in that way as well. Really love your writing just ordered unscripted and escape the great rat race!

If you guys think ChatGPT is good, Claude AI is gonna blow your mind

People don't realize the power of Emergence, if people think AI now are kinda scary, just imagine how AI will be in 6 years, 12 years, 24 years.

AGI in 6 years or less is my prediction.

The world is about to change in massive ways.

I'm curious if this will pan out. I asked CharGPT what to do to learn Google Ads and it didn't suggest finding a friend who needs phone calls and setting up campaigns for them. It's answers are precisely what a teacher or lecturer would give.

Did you try the strawberry model? Sometimes it's about your prompt as well you can try prompting it differently. It depends on the data it was taught on as well. If you made Andy Black gpt. I'm sure it would be able to help a lot better with questions regarding to ads.

It baffles me that there are people out there who still don't use AI.

Image you'll need a tax assistant to run your numbers for you. Would you prefeer to pick the assistant who does it the old school way - paper and pencil, or the one that uses computer spreadsheets?

There are some exceptional tools out there for design and coding - v0 is a UI generation tool, I showcased it to a developer yesterday and made a page which he spent 3hours making in 4minutes (mine was better).

Those of you familiar with coding would've heard of copilot - an ai assistant. Well now there is Cursor.. this is an AI code editor, it is a REAL x10 improvement on the copilot it does what copilot does but x10 better, battletested by me.

It makes me question how I should learn and capitalise on this technology?

Some days I don't even write code anymore... which is unbelievable really. Imagine you're a builder, you lay bricks and one day you just sit back and watch another machine lay bricks for you.. whilst you take all the credit...

Intrested to hear your guys answers on what is the best ways to stay ahead of the 99% of other people who can just as easily use these techs? What would be the edge?

I really agree with you. People who don't work with AI will fall behind with the ones that do. It will be even more valuable than any school or education.

I'm always trying to catch up on the news, models and tools there are to optimize. I been thinking about creating a business that would help companies utilize AI in their business for growth.

I think for coding copilot isn't the strongest at the moment. OpenAI's strawberry is likely the best although it generates a bit slowly.

We are in a huge changing point and it's hard to say what is coming up in the future.

I thought of creating an Andy Black GPT. Imagine if I sucked into it all my forum threads, or maybe even posts? And all my content on LinkedIn, emails, etc? Could I then get it to spit out newsletters and content for me?

I was talking to a tech founder last week about running Google Ads for his startup. It's a tool that transcribes Google Meet calls in real-time and allows you to query it while on the call.

I spent the first part of the call discussing how LinkedIn could help him (since he found me on YouTube and LinkedIn), and he sent me this PDF summary of my LinkedIn notes, as if it was a newsletter.

The intro is crazy. I discussed being an Oracle DBA much later in the call. And I never said I was an aspiring SaaS founder ... only that I was working on a subscription Google Ads reporting product.

Some of it isn't quite right (the part about leveraging the network effect isn't what a network effect is), but all I need to do is tidy it up if I wanted to post this as a newsletter (which I don't as I don't want to be known as a LinkedIn guy). It's also a bit too "newslettery" for my taste. It's not my voice.


Unlocking LinkedIn's Potential
for Founders and Marketers

As a former Oracle DBA turned Google Ads specialist and aspiring SaaS founder,
I've discovered the immense power of LinkedIn for growing your business and
personal brand. Here are some key insights I've gained from my journey:

1. Content is King, but Format is Queen
The way you present your content on LinkedIn can dramatically impact its reach
and engagement. I've found that:

• Carousels with large, easily readable text perform well
• Vertical videos are being pushed by LinkedIn's algorithm
• Simple, visually appealing posts often outperform text-heavy ones

Pro tip: Use tools like Canva to create eye-catching carousels and visuals.

2. The Power of "How-To" Content
Sharing practical, actionable advice in your posts can lead to explosive
engagement. Recently, I shared a post about a Google Ads tool that garnered
nearly 300 comments and 45,000 impressions. The key? Offering valuable, step-
by-step guidance that solves a real problem for your audience.

3. Identify and Engage with Your Target Audience
LinkedIn's transparency allows you to see who's engaging with your content. Use
this to your advantage:

• Analyze the job titles and industries of people liking and commenting on your
• posts
• Tailor your content to appeal to these audiences
• Engage directly with commenters to build relationships

4. Leverage the "Network Effect"
Find influencers or thought leaders in your niche who already have a captive
audience. Engage meaningfully with their content and community. This can help
you tap into their network and attract like-minded individuals to your profile.

5. Test and Iterate
Don't be afraid to experiment with different content types, formats, and topics.
What works for others may not work for you, and vice versa. Keep track of what
resonates with your audience and double down on successful strategies.

6. Build a Sales Funnel
Use your LinkedIn content to guide potential customers through a sales funnel:
1. Attract attention with valuable content
2. Collect leads (e.g., email addresses) by offering free tools or resources
3. Nurture these leads with continued value
4. Convert them into paying customers for your products or services

7. Consistency is Key
Regular posting keeps you top-of-mind for your network and helps you refine your
strategy over time. Aim for a consistent posting schedule, even if it's just a few
times a week.

8. Authenticity Matters
Share your genuine experiences, challenges, and learnings. People connect with
real stories and are more likely to engage with content that feels authentic and
relatable.
Remember, building a strong presence on LinkedIn takes time and effort. But with
persistence and the right strategy, it can become a powerful tool for growing your
business and personal brand.

comments below!

Ready to take your LinkedIn game to the next level? I'm developing tools to help
marketers and founders streamline their workflows and boost their productivity. If

And right now is the worst that AI will ever be.

AI is getting better at a very fast rate. Just last year AI produced video was HORRIBLE. Now, a year later, the more advanced engines can produce video that is near impossible to distinguish from videos made with real people.

AI is going to keep getting better and its going to keep doing so in a hurry.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

As suggested, and thanks to ChatGPT, only took me 30 minutes. Normally, something like this would take me a day.

On the weekend a mate used ChatGPT 4.0 to select 8 horses at a race meet, it correctly picked 6, 1 was a late scratching and the other one came second but was described as a "value bet" at $12. It said it pulled info from 7 different websites to determine the picks. Wild stuff.

 

[WestCoast]

I use AI almost never, and continue to not see the benefit in a manufacturing business.
I'm open to try it, but when I do, the results are always uninspiring.

- I used Brave AI exactly once, to help write a Job Description for a Production Manager. It did a good job.

- The just now, tried ChatGPT - asking a tax question (based on a comment above). The results were garbage, sort of confirming my view

- As I was typing this reply, I tried it for a second time, to better understand shareholder basis changes in an S corp.
It gave a good result and helpful info, but I'm not sure how this is better than a search engine. I guess it saved me some clicks to get to the source?
It didn't give me any context that was special, or interesting.


I still don't see the benefits in a brick and mortar business, building stuff every day, managing people, etc.
Maybe in the future it will be helpful, but for now - I continue to see no value for myself or company in using AI regularly.

I'm writing it here because I couldn't find a more suitable thread and I didn't want to open another one.

Two of the fathers of artificial intelligence, pioneering researchers (we're talking about the 80s, when the foundations of machine learning were laid thanks to them) have won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024.

They are John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. The second, above all, is considered one of the godfathers of deep learning, which is why he had already won the Turing Award in 2018 (a sort of Nobel - another - for Computer Science) together with his colleagues Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun.

In short, if AIs like ChatGPT, or Claude, or Gemini, give us a hand, we also owe it to them. I wanted to give them credit.

 

[ChrisStanton]

Worth noting the guy who got the Nobel prize has expressed serious concern that AI will be our downfall. Interesting.

The edge is simple. Keep focusing on solving problems.

AI gives you the ability to solve more problems.

The fundamentals of business aren't changing. Only the tools are changing.

Maybe you should try asking AI how it could help you in your business.

I thought the way you do for about a year. When I asked AI, it gave me three useless ideas, 10 ideas that were much too grandiose for what I needed, and two that actually helped my business.

Having been knee deep in AI for the past couple of months, I feel like I'm a little bit on the other side.

You are describing sounds like a mindset bias.

Whether you believe AI can help your business, or you believe that AI cannot help your business, you're right.

If nothing else, a manufacturing company has back office staff. That back office staff can be made more productive.

AI can answer phones. Chat on your website. Send email replies. Set up reminders. Build software. Analyze data. Adjust calendars. Uncover inefficiencies and help design solutions. Track employees birthdays and buy gifts for them.

AI is already helping manufacturing businesses. It's just not helping yours, cuz no one on your team is trying to harness it.

Do you use spreadsheets at all?

Do you have any repeatable processes?

Do you have a website with external facing articles/content? Do you have any libraries or knowledge bases internally?

Do you record calls with prospects or clients? Do you record internal calls such as meetings?

Do you generate quotes or contracts with clients?

Do your competitors have websites with sales pages that you could analyse and tabulate?

How do you make sales? Do you ever use written words to help make sales?

What type of advertising campaigns do you run?

Do you run any social media campaigns?

Do you run any image or video campaigns?

Do you have someone responsible for marketing? How do they devise and implement strategies?

 

[Andy Black]

The edge is simple. Keep focusing on solving problems.

This. If we're not solving problems or entertaining people (and eventually getting paid for it) then we're not in business.

Ha! On this point, I just had to sign an NDA with an interesting clause... To not upload any confidential information to any AI of any kind, and it listed several including things beyond LLM's that I don't even think of as AI.
