ChatGPT get-rich-quick schemes are coming for magazines, Amazon, and YouTube
> Its the latest evolution of internet side-hustle culture: Creators posing as business moguls are encouraging followers to use ChatGPT to earn money by churning out AI-generated content.<p>I followed a random number of highly polished influencers and gurus as part of my Twitter feed. It’s a way to keep a finger on the pulse of the guru zeitgeist as all of the gurus move in lockstep from one hot topic to the next.<p>Using AI to generate a business is definitely the topic du jour among wantrepreneur gurus. They’re sharing fantasies about using AI to create every step of your business, from coming up with the idea to writing email campaigns to helping them write all of the code. They share examples of high profile success stories that claim someone used ChatGPT to make a business from scratch with zero experience and now they’re making five or six figures per month without having to know anything.<p>It’s wild. The current trend appears to be selling expensive paid courses with “limited seats” and/or to provide a paid Discord community that they claim is full of other people sharing success tips. ChatGPT has been a dream come true for people who sell wantrepreneurship materials. I suspect they’re using ChatGPT to generate a lot of the materials, too.
