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.&lt;p&gt;It’s wild. The current trend appears to be selling expensive paid courses with “limited seats” and&amp;#x2F;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.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>melvinmelih</author><text>&amp;gt; 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.

My cousin (never been to college) is not exactly a prolific writer so was always struggling to write good copy. ChatGPT allowed him to write email campaigns, blog posts and product descriptions so his website actually looks very professional. So yeah there&amp;#x27;s definitely value for the regular Joe to start using ChatGPT to do things that were not considered possible before.</text></comment>

And I assume they are selling some bootcamp or course or community access to &amp;#x27;teach&amp;#x27; suckers how to do this stuff?</text></comment>
