The Internet Is a Dumpster Fire (And ChatGPT Is the Gasoline)

I hate it here…

You ever scroll through Facebook, see some “marketing expert” bragging about how they “helped 47 clients triple their revenue in 3 days,” and think… huh, that feels fake as hell?

Yeah. Me too…. bitches.

Lately, the internet feels like a garage sale of bad advice. Half lies, half ChatGPT fever dreams and 100% bullsh*t. Every corner is full of people “crushing it” and “scaling to the moon,” but the only thing they’re scaling is my patience.

The Rise of the Digital Busta

Let’s talk about the new breed of online hustler: the AI-assisted scammer, aka The Busta (if you see me comment this now youll know why).

The Busta doesn’t sell real results, they sell the illusion of success. They’ve discovered that ChatGPT can spin up fake case studies, made-up testimonials, and even imaginary clients faster than you can say “bro marketing.”

“Here’s how my client ‘Samantha’ increased sales by 324% using my $997 course!”

Cool story, Chad. Samantha doesn’t exist. She’s literally a string of words your AI cooked up between hallucinated statistics and a motivational quote you stole from Pinterest.

These people aren’t using AI to help others… they’re using it to lie more efficiently.

Why This Ackshewally Matters (Even If You’re Not a Marketer)

Because the internet is now overflowing with noise already and it’s making it damn hard for the honest people to stand out.

Legit marketing nerds are out here actually trying to help people. Meanwhile, some dude with a Canva template and a ChatGPT prompt is pretending to be the second coming of Gary Vee (insert zoltan hand signals). When everyone looks like an expert, no one is trusted.

We’re watching the online world eat itself and fake experts teaching other fake experts how to fake expertise. It’s the Inception of dumbassery.

The Red Flags (aka How to Spot a Busta)

• They use ChatGPT screenshots like it’s gospel.
  “ChatGPT says 87% of people do X!” Nah, bbygirl, ChatGPT makes sh*t up. That’s literally part of its charm.

• Everything they post ends with an “oh by the way…” offer.
  They’ll post something like, “Here’s the mindset that changed my life 👇🏻” then halfway down it’s, “Click the link in my bio to learn my $997 method. (gheyyy)”

• They flex without receipts.
  “My client made 6 figures last month!” Which client? What industry? Where’s the proof? If the only thing backing your claim is an emoji graph and a dramatic caption, I’m outtie 500 fam.

• They’ve never actually done the thing they’re teaching.
  They read two Twitter threads, fed it into ChatGPT, and now they’re a “coach” or “seo expert”.

BUT, BUT, Mr Andrew… What Can I Actually Do?

• STOP. DROP. SHUT EM DOWN…sorry got distracted

• Check the receipts.
  Real people have real clients, case studies, or at least a few genuine reviews. If someone can’t show any proof beyond hype or statistics from a chatGPT DUMP article somewhere, just walk away.

• Ask specific questions.
  “How did you get that result?” “What was the process?” “Can you show an example?” Watch them piss themselves then block you when they realize ChatGPT can’t improvise human experience.

• Use AI responsibly
  Look, I’m not saying don’t use ChatGPT (so put down the pitch forks please)… Hell, im basically 2/3 chatGPT and 1/3 Caffeine now. But use it as a tool, not a mask. Let it help you communicate better, not catfish your audience (im looking at you AI profile picture dweebs. We know you dont look like that).

Just stop frontn’

The internet doesn’t need more fake gurus. It needs more people who give a flying damn. If you’re actually out here helping clients, doing good work, and not faking screenshots then you’re already ahead of 90% of the Busta Brigade. If you’re not… better clench that booty because your day of reconning is coming.

And lastly i declare SHENNANIGANS on the lot of ya. Until next time nerdlingers.
