American-Canadian author Tim Boucher uses ChatGPT and Claude AI (similar to ChatGPT from Anthropic, founded by OpenAI employees) for writing science fiction works. Since August 2022, he has published 96 short stories ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words, which Boucher says are gaining popularity among a small audience.
The author sold nearly 600 copies of the story in less than a year, bringing him a total of $2,000 in revenue.
In addition to the services mentioned, Boucher also uses the Midjourney neural network to generate illustrations for his work. Each story is filled with 40-140 pictures created at the request of the author. It takes him six to eight hours to illustrate each book.
An employee named Ben in April 2023 said Because he was able to set up ChatGPT to handle about 80% of his job responsibilities, he was able to simultaneously find a job at a second company and increase his income. Ben did not name his position and place of work, but noted that he was busy writing reports and presentations.
According to him, he started experimenting with ChatGPT at the end of 2022. He could not have imagined then that he would have enough time for a second job, because he barely had enough strength for the first. But over time he adapted the system to his needs and had time to earn some extra money.
Now, Ben claims that ChatGPT even wrote answers for him to bosses in business chats.
According to him, he knows many colleagues who have done the same.
Popular American blogger Karyn Marjorie, who reached nearly 2 million subscribers on Snapchat with Forever Voices created It is based on the GPT-4 language model of the CarinAI chatbot, which emulates it in communication. The bot works on the basis of the Telegram messenger, it can respond with both text and voice. In the second case, the neural network generates voice messages based on Marjorie’s voice samples.
According to the blogger, he decided to create CarinAI when he realized that he didn’t have time to respond to all the fans in a private chat and was dedicating 5-6 hours a day to it.
Marjorie believes that the chatbot will satisfy most of her fans, as she has no prejudices: with CarinAI you can discuss both daily plans and erotic fantasies.
by CarinAI data a Fortune reporter is also prone to sex (like phone sex, text-only).
The blogger did not say how much money he spent creating CarinAI. However, this venture boasted of its profitability: Marjorie’s digital “twin” earned more than $100,000 in a week. The service monetizes at the rate of one dollar per minute through paid access.
British brand designer Jackson Fall decided Start your own business with ChatGPT. He turned to the bot with a request to draw up a business plan for opening a business with one condition: the project budget should not exceed 100 dollars.
ChatGPT invited Fall to create Green Gadget Guru, an online store with products for people who care about the environment. The neural network explained the choice by the fact that products in this niche are high-margin and the competition there is relatively low. Fall followed ChatGPT’s advice and completed all four steps suggested by the neural network: buying a domain name and paying for hosting ($15), creating a website (it’s free, AI helped), on social networks to advertise ($40), site for search engines (also free). using AI).
Fall talked about her achievements on Twitter. According to him, at one point he was negotiating the sale of the project for $25,000.
Whether the deal is done or not, history is silent – since the end of March 2023, Fall has not reported the success of Green Gadget Guru. However, even though the sale did not materialize and Gadget Guru was abandoned, Fall still benefited from the initiative – now over 100,000 people follow his Twitter profile. Also, the businessman often appears as an expert on YouTube shows and other bloggers’ podcasts.

In early 2023, Australian service Finder employees specializing in comparing different products and services asked ChatGPT to collect an investment portfolio of 38 stocks. In line with the same demand, Finder reached 10 professional investors from popular Interactive Investor, Fundsmith Equity and Vanguard funds. That’s why Finder wanted to compare the ability of a neural network and professional brokers to analyze the securities market.
The experiment lasted eight weeks. As a result, the ChatGPT portfolio increased by 4.9%, while the shares of mutual funds increased by 0.8% on average.
It is noteworthy that ChatGPT is guided by the same principles for selecting securities that professional brokers usually recommend.
During the experiment, Finder also asked its audience about using ChatGPT when choosing stocks for an investment portfolio. It turns out that 8% already use neural networks for these purposes and even benefit. 19% will consider helping ChatGPT in the near future.
