"If you can even just be 1% better at something every single day, that could change your life."
"You're not going to piss off the robot. And so what I mean by that is you can say no, that's not what I wanted, and then give them more direction."
"If you're getting horrible output, you're probably putting horrible input."
"Understand the capabilities, the limitations of the tool you're using. ChatGPT is designed for generating human like text based on the input it receives."

Welcome to another episode of Bella in your business. This Today we're going to be talking all about the misuses of AI. And I know there's, there's going to be a couple of different camps of people, people that cringe that I'm talking about this and they're like fearful and they're like, oh my gosh, robots are going to take over the world. This is terrible. Everything's going to be so unpersonal. And I get it especially based off of our limited knowledge of it, which is a lot of chat bots. That's what people think of AI. They don't realize that we've actually, it's been very much integrated in a lot of the things that we've been doing.
But it's one of my favorite subjects and it's something that I've been holding off, really diving deep in or talking to. So this is like me dipping the toe in the water to see how you guys react. I was one of the first million people in five days to get chat GP3 and that was the end of December 2023. Was it, was it? Or was it 22? I don't remember. Why am I not remembering? And it was, it was amazing. It's like the, in five days a million people signed up for this, which is like the fastest anyone's ever signed up for anything ever. And it has only literally grown exponentially. I've never seen, and you will never see, if you pay attention, anything in our lifetime thus far that has developed and grown faster than before.
Basically in the Mastermind we had Dustin Stout of magi, which is this amazing software that brings a bunch of different language models, LLMs together and the illustration models as well. And in one place, for it's give or take, there's different things, but it's about 20ish a month actually. It's. That starts, last I knew, at about $10 a month. You can check it out by going to jumpconsulting.net it's a really fun way to kind of get your whistle wet with, with AI and, and you can really test all the different models and just like ask all of them the same question and you can really compare and contrast. The cool thing about that, and I'm not doing this as a ad or anything, but the cool thing about that is each one of these models, they all have their own subscription. And so they're all like, let's say roughly $20, give or take a month. And when you can get them all under one roof for $20, that's a pretty darn good deal.
And so Dustin came into the Mastermind shortly after the explosion to mainstream for chat GPT3 came out and he was explaining stuff in our, in our Mastermind and doing demos, which you can go and see right now if you're a Mastermind member. However, it's probably outdated. Is probably very, very outdated. I can't even remember where we were at back then, but since then we came out with ChatGPT4 and then, and then the, the pre Strawberry model, for better lack of better word, where it actually reasons with it itself. Guys, I use this every single day. There's a voice on it, so you can talk back and forth with the assistant. And of course there's different, you know, nuances and the more you use it, the better you learn. Basically.
If I could sum it up in a nutshell, you have to learn how to talk to it, just like you're learning an actual person. You can't just be like, you know, think they're a mind reader or abrupt or no context. And we're going to talk about that today because I just really want to tell you guys, if you're one of those people that are saying I can't use it or I use it and I don't like my output, then there, there's so many ways around that. And I want to start planting these seeds in your brain now. Like again, Mama Bear mode. I feel like I need to prepare my kids for the future. And this is the future. And you're not going to see it talked about in our industry, mark my words, for a very long time.
And that's a shame because there's a lot of things that either are going to help replace your processes in your business, which actually they're right now, like here and now. There's already things you can do to replace some of the internal operations that you're doing. Therefore, not having to pay someone for 10 hours when it can be done in two hours. Okay? That's the first thing. The second thing is it, it can help so not only, you know, reduce your time, but it can help you expand your ideas and your vision and like, really serve as someone to bounce ideas off of. And as of this past week, it now searches the web real time. Before this week, it only knew the web up until October 2023. Okay.
And so for whatever reason, you tried it and you didn't like it, I encourage you open it up again however you do it. There's so many different language models. I want you to think about this. LLM is a language model and it's kind of like Russian and Spanish and Japanese and English. Right. And so there's all these different language models and they all have their different ways of giving, like computing. Right. And then like inside ChatGPT, there's also GPTs in there.
So think of it like plugins. Like, if you want to do a specific plugin that was a really good, like, writer, or a specific plugin that's really good at code or math. So it's. There's so much more underneath the surface. Also, before I get into this, I really want to give you a shout out to my good friend, Julia McCoy. She is. Her story is absolutely incredible. This woman is unstoppable.
And I really encourage you if you want to learn more about this and really geek out on it. I prefer to do it while I'm folding laundry, so I forget that I'm folding laundry. Go check out her YouTube channel. Julia McCoy, MC COI. She also spoke in our Mastermind this summer about it. She is the leading. She is one of the leading experts, thought, thought leaders in the AI space that is so amazing in how much information she consumes and how she also teaches it and just really, like poses all these different questions about when robots are going to take over the Earth, when they're going to be as good as humans, 2026, and all this other stuff. So if you really want to go down what she calls a rabbit hole, and I have to agree, go check out Julia McCoy.
And she also has tons of book recommendations over there. If you're ever interested in learning more. There's a thing called singularity. There's like, AGI. There's all these new definitions and terms that you're. You're going to start seeing. And if you're one of the early adopters of this, it's only going to help leverage your business even more. Because just like everything else, I say, you know, everyone else is too tired, burnt out and overwhelmed to really do anything other than stay in the same rat race.
And you, my jumper, are better than that. So if you can Even just be 1% better at something every single day, that could change your life. All right, we're not. We're not asking you to become, like a complete. I just want to expand your brain. So I'm going to take it down the negative route today and I'm going to talk to you all about how people use it, how they misuse it. So let's get right on into it. And I'm going to tell you 10 shocking ways you're misusing ChatGPT without realizing it.
And of course, this probably could go to any kind of language model that you're used. Maybe you're using Dalle or something else like it. There's just, there's,
