Codie Sanchez asked ChatGPT to design a business and make $1,000 in 24 hours using Facebook Marketplace and Uber. Facebook suspended her account and Uber's verification failed, but after workarounds the AI process messaged 20 sellers, closed nine deals, and turned a $145 profit.

Can ChatGPT really invent a business and make $1,000 in 24 hours? I thought it was impossible, but then I saw this ChatGPT using Facebook Marketplace and Uber to buy and sell stuff. The plan was perfect until the Facebook account got suspended for unusual activity and the AI failed the Uber human verification. It was looking really bad, but it turns out Chat GPT won't stop until it gets what it wants and after solving these problems, was able to message 20 sellers, secure nine, and sell three items. That's how we ended the day with a profit of 145 bucks in only 24 hours. Which sounds like not a lot, but at this rate we will make $4,000 a month using only ChatGPT.
