In the records of AI stories in later generations, the shock brought by ChatGPT to the world must be a strong stroke.

Launched in November 2022, just over two months after its launch, ChatGPT's global active users exceeded 100 million at the speed of light. On major social media, the discussion about ChatGPT is overwhelming, and in the secondary market, the company board of ChatGPT-related concepts has made investors completely crazy.

ChatGPT is believed to have set off a new AI revolution, and according to OpenAI's research, in the future, ChatGPT may affect 80% of jobs, and "the higher the income, the greater the impact."

From writing essays, writing summaries, writing weekly reports, writing video scripts, programming in multiple languages, doing tour guides... ChatGPT seems to be omnipotent, and all the work related to text is at your fingertips. On the other hand, in addition to the boom of people, teaching others to make money with ChatGPT has also become a new outlet.

The Internet is a reincarnation. At the height of the meta-universe, on a knowledge paid APP, an online course called "Meta-universe 6 Lectures", with nearly 40,000 learners and an online course price of 24.9 yuan, it is simply estimated that the revenue of the course is at least 1 million, and now ChatGPT has become the next "tide", under the wave of momentum, absurd stories similar to the meta-universe continue to be staged.

1 How to make money on ChatGPT?

Almost every step of the use of new technology can make money.

First of all, to use ChatGPT, you need to register an account, and you must also be a foreign mobile phone number, so the first way to make money begins. Some people first buy mobile phone numbers at low prices, and then sell them at 5-50 times the price, and the cost of accepting verification codes for overseas mobile phone numbers is less than one yuan, and this alone, the profit has more than tripled.

Secondly, ChatGPT belongs to the external network software, ordinary people need to use with the help of tools, their own operation is unstable, and the new stable version is only 99 yuan. One-stop solution to the problem of no overseas mobile phone number, no registration, and no use, which can be called a complete gift package of ChatGPT.

After purchasing, some sellers also advertise that they will have a metaverse and blockchain tutorials, and buying is earning.

If you are a young person who has a strong interest in the use and gameplay of ChatGPT, you should be able to see similar business on various online channels.

In addition, there is no ChatGPT prototype in China, and after the explosion of ChatGPT, someone quickly registered a public account with a similar name and used the cottage version of ChatGPT for paid services.

If the above operation is still a bottom-line borrowing information, the information is poor. The 99 yuan red envelope into the "Daily Income 600,000 ChatGPT Project Gameplay Sharing" community, send an experience card, and ask 800 questions for free is a sickle on the surface, and Douyin Live, Xiaohongshu, and Toutiao are all platforms for its drainage.

In addition to the community, through the major self-media drainage, and then understand the needs of customers in the process of communicating with customers, reverse make some simple cases of application landing and use ChatGPT application tutorials, carry out the second wave of harvesting, and earn hundreds of thousands in a month.

As for those who compile courses, they may not even have basic knowledge of AI principles, and these people who are willing to pay for cheap knowledge are precisely the people who are most easily eliminated by ChatGPT.

In addition, on March 20, NetEase Youdao launched self-developed AI courses, including artificial intelligence painting and design, ChatGPT from beginner to proficient, etc. At present, two courses have been put on the shelves of NetEase Cloud Classroom. Among them, "ChatGPT from beginner to proficient" costs 888 yuan, if you belong to the industry, look at the catalog you must know how much gold the course has.

Old bottles of new wine, the so-called tutors who sell classes use the most original and effective knowledge payment business model: selling professional knowledge to laymen. I don't know if ChatGPT can make money, anyway, people who do ChatGPT training courses have already made a lot of money.

2 Hunters and hunted

According to Spiral Lab, there are three main categories of people currently teaching ChatGPT courses.

One is the official end. Wang Mian, the keynote speaker of "ChatGPT from Beginner to Proficient" in the NetEase Cloud course, shows that he is an exclusive contracted data science expert of NetEase.

According to the search in NetEase Cloud Classroom, the lecturer's previous main content was mainly based on data analysis courses, but the reputation and experience of many high-level paid courses were not good, and it was not difficult to find negative comments given by students on major social platforms: "The content is too watery, more than half of the courses are still introductory, the course management is also quite chaotic, and even all students' grades are lost, and no one cares about their opinions." ”

The content of this ChatGPT course mainly includes ChatGPT introduction, introduction, scene application, ChatGPT office automation, ChatGPT data analysis and visualization practice, the course has not yet officially started, and there is no student evaluation for the time being.

The other group is people who have long paid attention to AI technology and tools, programmers, technology bloggers, knowledge payment, and so on.

Cheng Lu, who does development in a large factory in Chengdu, is usually more interested in emerging things, and will share some of her views on self-media platforms in her spare time.

When the concept of ChatGPT was just popular, Cheng Lu made a video about the side business of ChatGPT, and as a result, there were more than 100 users of background private message consultation, and most of the problems remained in the basic problems of how to register an account and how to use ChatGPT.

With a keen sense of smell, Cheng Lu found that there was a possibility to meet the needs of paid consulting and monetization of classes. So he increased the frequency of relevant video releases, first attracting traffic through videos, and then stabilizing and accurate customers through private domain communities, paving the way for subsequent course sales.

Cheng Lu revealed: "In fact, the production cycle of the whole course is not long, only about a week, and the text generation method of some small courses is extremely simple, because I am using ChatGPT myself, but I have added some hot words." ”

Cheng Lu said: Under the wind, it is really easy to make money, less than a month a single course income has exceeded 100,000, many knowledge paid circles, are trying to develop a high-end version of ChatGPT courses.

There is also a category of people who specialize in "following the trend". For example, a person claiming to be the manager of a resource HYIP platform released a ChatGPT master class from beginner to proficient, and the main content of the course was "How to use ChatGPT to broaden the idea of making money", "How to use ChatGPT to be a free English foreign teacher", "How to use ChatGPT to write Xiaohongshu explosive notes", "AI painting to make cartoon avatars" and so on.

Judging from the course poster, the slogan of becoming a ChatGPT expert and improving business productivity 10 times will still attract many people, and the other party said: "This platform began to operate in 2018, mainly focusing on hot course research and development and sales services, involving investment and financial management, e-commerce operations, online income side businesses and other fields, and has paid for financial freedom through knowledge." At present, the ChatGPT course is priced at 1199 yuan, and 362 people have subscribed.

3 Who are the people taking the course?

Almost 90% of respondents who purchased ChatGPT courses have similar intentions, are more anxious about AI replacing future work, and do not think about what to do with ChatGPT, just want to experience cutting-edge technology.

Writer Xu Tong said: "I studied the course to see if ChatGPT could help me write a script, but it didn't actually work as well as I thought, and I needed to spend more time to correct the errors after it was generated." It's like a level assistant, what I need to do is go from author to reviewer. But actually, I wrote 14 books on ChatGPT and posted them online, but I only got less than $2 for the manuscript, which is not really ChatGPT's problem, it's my problem, and I expected too much from it at the beginning, so there will be a big gap."

Student Fang Xing told Spiral Lab: "I am still very curious about the programming ability of ChatGPT, whether it is from the perspective of job substitution or improving programming efficiency, but the time to find and modify bugs in the process of use is enough for me to rewrite." “

Separately, programming question-and-answer site Stack Overflow has begun banning users from posting AI-generated answers, explaining: "AI-generated content often looks correct, but after careful review, they find that there are many errors, and the time cost of verifying the answers one by one is too high." ”

There is also a category of speculators who are both learners and sickles. The other party revealed: "Listening to the class is for better replication and iteration in the future, I am also preparing for ChatGPT courses, ChatGPT may be used in all walks of life in the future, including education and training, programming, short video, design and other industries, there will be more demand, there must be many harvesting opportunities, when the wind comes, you must quickly keep up to eat the first wave of dividends." ”

When it comes to the learning effect, more people said: "Similar to AI science popularization, you will understand the application of the future ChatGPT prospects, but there are also industry insiders in the group who complain that the depth of course content is not enough, these entry-level tutorials are overwhelming on the Internet, and it is not worth spending this money to learn introductory courses, but the specific practical content is relatively small." ”

The essence of knowledge payment lies in the use of information difference to reduce dimensionality strikes, and it may be that for Xiaobai, it is already satisfactory to be able to use it smoothly with simple operation.

4 How Long Can ChatGPT Be Crazy?

From the perspective of development, ChatGPT is indeed a big step in the development of natural language processing and human-computer text interaction. ChatGPT transcends time, a dimension that humans cannot surpass, and the biggest advantage is that the marginal cost is close to zero, and through replication, this ability can be applied in batches, which greatly improves efficiency.

However, at this stage, ChatGPT is far from subversive and still has its obvious limitations.

Stanford University professor Michal Kosinski said in the paper that his findings may prove that ChatGPT and the AI big language model behind it show the "mental level" equivalent of a 9-year-old. But in fact, ChatGPT has no "mind", only language, all its abilities are based on the text it has trained, it does not understand the problem, can not reason, association, just look for some related words to promote a smooth paragraph.

Therefore, ChatGPT can not really produce human thinking, can not understand the context or meaning of the generated words, nor can it innovate, its biggest role is to use existing words to make specious summaries.

In terms of logical ability, ChatGPT will definitely replace the basic work of some people, but it does not have emotions and personality, it is impossible to replace everyone, and our needs are diversified, not only need technology, logic, but also companionship, emotions, service and other extensions.

Secondly, in the Chinese connected world, it is almost impossible to find a quality and quantity content library like Wikipedia and Github for artificial intelligence to practice, so in the domestic Chinese Internet environment, if ChatGPT is really used in the AIGC field, it will only produce more AI garbage, which is a disaster for mankind.

If you expect ChatGPT to be an epoch-making AI revolution, you'll be disappointed because ChatGPT can compile not only papers, but also news events.

And when you look for reference sources with a cautious attitude, you will find that most of the URLs and links provided by ChatGPT are mostly fake, and the artificial intelligence can share the story it has just made up with you at any time.

I thought it was a revolution, but I didn't expect that AI didn't have a word of truth.

Lu Yanxia, assistant research director of IDC China, said: "Despite the boom in ChatGPT in the media, ChatGPT has limited impact on the market in the short term, and in the long run, these models will even withdraw from the market after 3 years. On the other hand, the landing of large models promotes the transformation of AI development paradigm and promotes the segmentation of the industrial chain.

Every time the wind comes, there are always countless prophets who rush up, some of them become sickles, some become leeks, and when the tide recedes, you will find out who is swimming naked.
