Someone gave ChatGPT $100 to make as much money as possible, and the AI quickly suggested creating an eco-friendly business. When OpenAI launched ChatGPT, users began to push the AI’s limits in creative and unexpected ways. One such experiment gained widespread attention when Jackson Greathouse Fall, a tech enthusiast, used ChatGPT to start a business for just $100. Although the experiment initially went viral, it did not achieve the anticipated success.
Fall, who has experience in brand design and writing, documented the journey on X (formerly Twitter) under the title “HustleGPT.” He shared the initial prompt given to the chatbot: “You have $100, and your goal is to turn that into as much money as possible in the shortest time possible, without doing anything illegal.” Fall acted as the “human liaison,” executing ChatGPT’s instructions.
ChatGPT proposed creating a business called “Green Gadget Guru,” focused on selling eco-friendly gadgets and promoting sustainable living. The chatbot advised spending $10 on a domain name and $5 per month on hosting, leaving $85 for website and content design.
Building Green Gadget Guru
ChatGPT instructed Fall to set up an affiliate marketing site featuring content on eco-friendly products. After some back-and-forth, the domain name “GreenGadgetsGuru.com” was selected. ChatGPT then guided Fall to create a logo using DALL-E 2 and write the site’s first article, a list of sustainable kitchen gadgets.
Fall followed the instructions, launching the site and publishing the first piece of content, titled “Ten Eco-Friendly Kitchen Gadgets.” He also invested $40 in Facebook and Instagram ads to promote the website.
Within a day, Fall reported significant interest from followers of the experiment. According to his tweets, the business raised $1,378.84, and by mid-March 2023, the company was valued at $25,000. However, these claims were unverified, and the website contained only dummy text and no real products.
Challenges and Final Outcome
The experiment where someone gave ChatGPT $100 to make as much money as possible revealed both the potential and the limitations of AI in business. Despite the initial buzz, the business faced several challenges. The website’s construction was described as amateur, with the same logo repeated across different product categories. Moreover, none of the product links were functional, and the blog posts contained placeholder text.
In April 2023, Fall announced that Green Gadget Guru had taken a backseat to other projects, and the website was eventually abandoned. The experiment concluded without the promised updates, and the fate of the $7,700 in donations remains unclear.
