And wow does it feel like I have a whole team of specialists behind me!! Both for building my business and at my work. Productivity? Through the roof! No need to hire "specialists" for things that are junior-> medium-level!! Feedback from my manager: "Panos you write like a c-level executive!". Also, GPT 4 is a good jump from GPT 3.5. No more repeating the same stuff. And the reasoning? Amazing. So guys get educated on AI and be on the right side of history. I am telling people in Finance that their jobs will be obsolete in 5 years but they think I am crazy. Based on what I see: Accountants? DONE. Financial ANALysts? DONE. Junior Project Managers and POs are done. Junior Devs? DONE. Just take a look at this video of what Copilot from Microsoft can do after not even a year of development.View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7xTBa93TX8&ab_channel=Microsoft365
. This is amazing news for all of us starting a business we can now really stick it to the big guys and compete so much better. Until the big corpos have done 6789 meetings to decide on one thing, a small business or even a sole proprietorship can develop a product and market it effectively and stick it up their a$$, with the power of AI. Educate yourselves NOW!!
Is anyone using ChatGPT rather than reading business books?
I'm just about to pull the trigger on a few Marketing Books and figured I'd see what ChatGPT had to say. I find it a little hard to get my head around the idea that ChatGPT can summarise all the value a book has to offer in a few paragraphs.
I tried using ChatGPT4 to give the main takeawayss from Unscripted as a test. While it gave the broad strokes I feel that if I hadn't actually read the book a couple of times they would've been useless. It could be that I haven't prompted ChatGPT4 properly and I could ask it to expand on each point more.
I feel like I've actually answered my own question but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
No. I use it to test myself on the knowledge of a book /chapters that I have read. This makes the knowledge stick a lot better in my memory and at the same time, I know when AI is making something up. This process obv. only makes sense if you want to really understand or even master a topic. If you read to be informed it's likely overkill.Is anyone using ChatGPT rather than reading business books?
Agreed. If you are a newbie on a topic you will not know when ChatGPT makes mistakes or makes things up.Be careful doing that. Chat GPT makes things up.

Already using it and it really makes it easier to have good prompts (that you would likely not come up with otherwise).I found a prompt that literally upgraded the quality of answers I get from GPT 4 a 100 times better.
Introducing the prompt engineer. This badass prompt when executed, will generate a prompt in response to your prompt and ask you relevant questions regarding that prompt.
I've been selfish with it for long enough so here you go folks. Prepare to be amazed!
"I want you to become my prompt engineer. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:
1. Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps.
2. Based on my input, you will generate 2 sections. a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. it should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you), b) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt).
3. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised prompt section until I say we are done."
this *could* be correctI've used it a few times to answer questions and it's been great. Still struggles with math and logic though.

Seems to give smarter reply by telling it to consider carefully - like human would do, prompt: "in a room there are 100 murderers. You kill one of them. How many murderers are left. Consider your answer carefully and explain your logic and steps you take in order to decide the correct answer."this *could* be correct
I mean this is a very strange question to ask me because you can use AI for almost everything, and you should be experimenting yourself first, before asking this stuff on a forum.what are u using AI for, i want to start e-commerce with ai but dont know where to start with.
It failed miserably, even after 6 attempts and clarifications that the bonds are tax free. This was its last ditch effort. This calculation isn't calculus.
There's a big difference between AI content and manually-edited AI content, or even content that has gone through AI a few times. Google may be able to detect it (I don't think they care), but how are the agencies detecting it? The current AI checker tools are garbage.
If The Fastlane Forum had its own personal AI to help answer questions (and you knew it was an AI, no deception) what would you name him or her?
I was thinking ELI the AI.
That's what I do. 25 messages is too low. And the threshold is expected to go lowerAlready using it and it really makes it easier to have good prompts (that you would likely not come up with otherwise).
However, with the limits of 25 prompts for GTP-4 per 3 hours this technique might be best used if you use gpt-3 to generate the prompt and that use the generated prompt and put it into gpt-4
Brilliant idea. This AI would cater to the beginner questions and save us a lot of timeIf The Fastlane Forum had its own personal AI to help answer questions (and you knew it was an AI, no deception) what would you name him or her?

Just start eCommerce and ignore AI?

This is PERFECT for those who have read MJ's books. Unless you are trying to appeal to a wider audience, I think this wins.CENTSAI (kinda like Sensei ha)

Agreed - the place where my mom works has a fax machine and no computer in the building. I don't see them using ChatGPT anytime soon either.Betting on chat gpt not being as widespread as people think it will be.
Hear me out.
Technology advances incredibly fast and I see a higher and higher percentage of people "stuck in the past" relative to how advanced things can get.
How many people even know how to run an advertisement properly on fb and ppc?
There will be any number of problems that the open ai software will be able to solve, and almost ALL businesses will not be utilizing it or even know they can.
I bet there's 50 things that it can do right now for my business to improve things in some way and I have no idea, and I'm certain most businesses are like that and much worse.
The gap between what CAN be done with it and what is actually done with it in the marketplace with real businesses is massive and will only get wider.
Major opportunity to be a systems consulting firm if you are an expert. Almost all businesses are not even aware of the current tools we have outside of AI to make things a breeze.
Wealth gap getting wider and wider as technology progresses.
Back in the day, you had like 10 main industries and only a few ways to improve productivity. Now there's an insane number of industries, and an insane number of ways to improve. So the farmer from 1885 could only do 2-3 things to improve their margins and they were small improvements. You had less disparity and less of a gap. Now...you can be 1000x more productive than someone else, that's insane, never before seen in human history could two people who are identical in most ways be so different in productivity.
I think the same thing will happen with this tech. Handful of smart people who can use tech to it's fullest potential, making giant leaps ahead of others and able to be 100000x more productive, which raises the value of someone who can bring the larger percentage of "stuck in the past" people up to speed.
Loads of companies with good models but bad tactics, operated by people in their 50's and 60's, there's billions of dollars left on the table to scoop up. You could walk into almost any company and say "you COULD do X 50 times faster with these automations check it out" and you would be able to command BIG pay for it. I think that will be the move. Or possibly just buying the businesses and doing it yourself.
Even just the basic things like buying a boring archaic business and actually running good, modern ads to it with a solid landing page can 10x things.
But overall I expect it to be only used to it's potential by a smaller and smaller percentage of people who will get larger and larger returns from it.

@Fox, I think your courtesy might be lost on good ol' chatGPT. That, or you're very clever to appease our future Skynet overlord.
Funnily enough, I do the same. Perhaps when a far superior AI takes over the world one day, it'll decide to spare the puny lives of those of us who treated chatGPT with kindness.
