The Birth of Hustle GPT The idea of creating a robot that could make money was born when the designer was chatting with a friend and thought it would be funny to see what would happen if they gave the robot $100 and told it to make as much money as possible without breaking any laws. The robot was named Hustle GPT, and the designer became the human liaison to the AI.

The Surprising Success of Hustle GPT The designer's experiment with Hustle GPT quickly gained popularity, with over 20 million people seeing the tweet and 250 people joining a Discord to participate in their own Hustle GPT experiments. The robot gave different ideas to everyone who approached it, and the designer's experiment inspired others to try their own. The success of Hustle GPT showed an alternative narrative to the sci-fi fear narrative of robots taking over jobs, instead showing how humans and AI can work together to augment productivity and creativity.

Why this experiment went viral

The Experiment's Viral Success The experiment went viral due to its interactivity and the fact that people could follow along with the robot's prompts and recommendations. The Discord community set up by the creator allowed people to share their own experiences and ideas for using the AI sidekick.

The Potential of AI Sidekicks Using an AI sidekick like Hustle GPT allows people to create online businesses that they themselves want to run and eventually profit from. The language model's ability to generate content and complete tasks without saying no to anything makes it a great co-pilot, but it still requires human intervention for course correction and fact checking.

Limitations and Future Possibilities Hustle GPT's inability to take action on a human input on a human user's behalf is a limitation that could be overcome in the future. The creator envisions a future where AI sidekicks can take action on behalf of their users, making them more like co-pilots than just language models. However, the potential for AI to act on its own behalf and make decisions solely based on making more money is a potential concern.

The Holy Trinity of Building a Great MVP The ideal team for building a great MVP used to be an incredible engineer, an incredible designer, and an incredible hustler. However, today's question is whether this is still necessary, and if so, what the Holy Trinity should consist of.

AI Tools in Design AI tools have been used in the branding process, from strategy to setting up notion dashboards. These tools generate a multitude of jumping-off points that can be given to a human designer to run with. However, they cannot fine-tune the details, and a human counterpart is still necessary.

Jobs and AI The legal profession has already been disrupted by AI, and it will continue to change enormously over the next few months. Entry-level jobs that have a high number of repetitive tasks are the most vulnerable to being replaced by AI. However, people who are best versed and most native to these AI tools will be able to manipulate the AI models and prompt engineer the best.
