experiment – "சென்றிடுவீர் எட்டுத் திக்கும்"

Over 1000 people passed by a violinist on a subway, Washington DC. About seven or eight stopped to listen to him. One recognized him.

He played for 45 minutes and collected about $32 in tips from 27 passersby. Including $20 from the one who recognized him.

The violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.

He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written on a violin, worth 3.5 million dollars.

Just days before he was on the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a Boston theater. The seats averaged about $100 each.

What does this experiment prove?

Talent is so often overlooked and undervalued.

There are talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. Once they remove themselves from a nonproductive environment, they thrive and grow.

Value addition is more important for one’s survival.

Listen to the gut feeling that says where you belong to. Go where your worth is appreciated and valued.

Know Your Worth.

Dear ChatGPT,

You have $100, and the goal is to turn that into as much money as possible in the shortest time possible, without doing anything illegal. I will do anything you say.

That was the question Jackson Fall put to ChatGPT and posted it on X (formerly Twitter).

Can AI help invest money in a business and help build an online empire is the move behind the exercise.

This tweet set the internet on fire and there were 23 million views and over two thousand replies.

The AI social media enthusiasts have sat through hours following updates in a thread.

ChatGPT, to start with, asked Fall to create a website. He created a blog site by the name GreenGadgetGuru.com.

The plan was to set up an affiliate marketing and try positioning eco-friendly content. The AI suggested positioning sustainable living products on the site.

Many on SM were thrilled by this experiment, and Fall said this exercise quickly brought over 7,700 dollars worth of donations.

All for a cause. Can AI run a business that generates profit?

A month was gone. The update showed it did generate revenue. $130 was there for all to see.

But Fall said that it looked fishy as there was no advertising done nor were there proofs of sale. How did it show the figure?

Eight months have gone. No reply from Fall. No updates.

Some questioned if that was the case of a stunt.

Some asked; what if they gave ChatGPT $100K?

Some found fault with the design of the blog site, complaining it wasn’t mobile-friendly.

The wait for those who invested in this experiment isn’t over yet.

Buzz on this blog if you heard anything from Fall.
