I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible. I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to. Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business? Follow along 👀

He's made money, but just from other techbros circlejerking about it by "investing".

Tbf he could be grifting them which would be hilarious.

    It spat out Gary Vee shit for me:

    ` Great, let's get started! Since we have a limited budget and time, we should focus on low-cost, high-profit ventures. Here's a plan:

    First, I suggest we invest $40 in purchasing some used items with high resale potential, such as clothing, electronics, or collectibles. Look for these items on local online marketplaces, garage sales, or thrift stores. Make sure to negotiate for the best price.

Next, invest $20 in creating eye-catching and professional-looking listings for these items on online marketplaces such as eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist. Use good quality photos and detailed descriptions to attract buyers.

While waiting for the items to sell, use $10 to set up a basic website or blog. Write about a niche topic you're knowledgeable about or passionate about, and monetize the site with affiliate marketing, advertising, or sponsored content. It might not generate huge profits immediately, but it has the potential to grow over time.

Use the remaining $30 to buy and sell cryptocurrencies or stocks. Look for low-cost, high-potential options to maximize returns. Remember, trading carries risks, so be cautious and only invest what you can afford to lose.`

    30 dollars in stock :data-laughing: i own a fractional share im a capitalist now :soypoint-1:

      "do a bunch of research and work and if you're really lucky you'll make a profit that equals out to less than minimum wage"

      seriously that bot's advice will earn you maybe $15

      This was the grift in early 2010s but was pretty much dead by 2014 with the way seo algos changed and moving everything on to the big sites like fb and Reddit and stuff, I can’t imagine there’s any point to doing something like this in 2023 lol
