Can one ChatGPT prompt help you earn $100K?

[Coder53]

Gene Marks has his weekly small business tech roundup on Forbes and the headline grabber is whether a single ChatGPT prompt can help you earn $100,000. It refers to a piece by Rachel Wells describing a repeatable ChatGPT workflow, using Skills or scheduled tasks, that hunts for paid speaking gigs, workshops and webinars matched to your expertise. The prompt is meant to find credible leads, check whether pay is confirmed and point you at the decision makers. Marks is quick to tell everyone to calm down, and I think he is right

His point is that the AI only helps with the lead sourcing part. After that comes the legwork, follow up and plenty of rejection before any money arrives. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it, and anything that sounds too good to be true usually is. Plenty of social media influencers are selling exactly this dream right now

The other items are more practical. Microsoft Teams is getting 12 new features this autumn, including auto hiding the app bar, testing your mic and speakers before a meeting and a way to report suspicious meeting activity. There is also a screenshot tool that lets you grab something during a call and ask Copilot to explain it. HubSpot showed off its Breeze assistant, which uses CRM context to help with tasks, and a self updating CRM that captures details from calls, emails and meetings

Meta's Muse AI agent is apparently flying, with over 2.5 million downloads in its first few weeks and a spell as the top free iOS app in the US ahead of ChatGPT. Zuckerberg is pitching it as something that takes tasks off your plate rather than just answering questions. Whether that sticks once the novelty wears off is another matter. Early download numbers have a habit of fading

The most sobering item is a study by London firm Saturn testing AI chatbots on personal finance questions. Across 17 current models, average accuracy was only 43 percent, and free versions did noticeably worse than paid ones. Even the best performer, Claude Opus 5, got harder questions wrong 67 percent of the time. With an EY survey suggesting almost half of people use AI for financial advice, that is a worrying gap

Marks sums it up nicely with use AI but verify. Has anyone here tried using ChatGPT to find work or leads? Did it turn up anything real, or was it mostly padding?
