Innovative Uses of AI in the Detailing Industry: From Characters to Marketing

This podcast episode delves into the innovative applications of ChatGPT in the realm of business and personal creativity. I explore the process of developing a detailed animated universe, creatively referred to as the "detail verse," where characters inspired by friends are generated alongside their unique backstories. The conversation also highlights how ChatGPT assists in crafting marketing strategies, generating social media content, and even troubleshooting business-related issues, thereby serving as a valuable tool for both efficiency and creativity. Furthermore, we discuss the nuances of using ChatGPT as an assistant for various tasks, including the creation of licensing agreements and generating promotional materials. Ultimately, this episode underscores the transformative potential of AI in enhancing productivity and fostering imaginative endeavors in the detailing industry and beyond.

Transcript
Speaker A:

Started creating a whole detail verse for my.

Speaker A:

My cartoon with me and Noxie.

Speaker A:

I started, like, dumping in, like, pictures of friends and then, like, asking it to, like, create a cartoon version of them.

Speaker A:

And then.

Speaker A:

And then create, like, a name and a backstory for them and everything.

Speaker A:

And I was.

Speaker A:

I was given chat gbt like, like real basic info about them, you know, about the person or whatever.

Speaker A:

Because I.

Speaker A:

I wanted it to, like, kind of be them, but, like, I wanted Chat GPT to, like, create its own version, right?

Speaker A:

And it's.

Speaker A:

It's been a blast, dude.

Speaker A:

Like, like, I've been debate, like, I want to do one for you.

Speaker A:

So you tell.

Speaker A:

You tell me if.

Speaker A:

You tell me if this will be okay or not.

Speaker A:

So I want to do one for you.

Speaker A:

And I wanted it to be like, you know, by day, he runs a successful detailing business, but at night it turns into details after dark and it becomes a bikini car wash.

Speaker A:

And it's this like, the cd, CD type of car wash or something.

Speaker B:

That's great.

Speaker A:

Detail.

Speaker B:

I'm a detailer.

Speaker A:

That's what chat GPT is for.

Speaker A:

Yeah, chatgpt how to do it.

Speaker B:

I just used it to change my printer toner.

Speaker B:

I've had the same toner for three years.

Speaker B:

And we were getting ready to do our tax paperwork, so my wife was printing a bunch of stuff and we ran out, and I'm like, oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Speaker B:

I have no idea how to do this.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker B:

Yeah, we got it.

Speaker B:

We're good.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I started creating a whole detail verse for my.

Speaker A:

My cartoon with me and Noxie.

Speaker A:

I started, like, dumping in, like, pictures of friends and then, like, asking it to, like, create a cartoon version of them and then.

Speaker A:

And then create, like, a name and a backstory for them and everything.

Speaker A:

And I was.

Speaker A:

I was given chat gbt like, like, real basic info about them, you know, about the person or whatever.

Speaker A:

Because I.

Speaker A:

I wanted it to, like, kind of be them, but, like, I wanted Chachi BT to like, create its own version, right?

Speaker A:

And it's.

Speaker A:

It's been a blast, dude.

Speaker A:

Like, Like, I've been debate, like, I want to do one for you.

Speaker A:

So you tell.

Speaker A:

You tell me if.

Speaker A:

You tell me if this will be okay or not.

Speaker A:

So I want to do one for you.

Speaker A:

And I wanted it to be like, you know, by day he runs a successful detailing business, but at night it turns into details after dark and it becomes a bikini car wash.

Speaker A:

And it's this like the cd, CD type of car wash or something.

Speaker B:

That's great.

Speaker A:

I was trying to Think of something.

Speaker A:

Because you're the originator of Details After Dark.

Speaker A:

So I was trying to think of something like, how do I incorporate Details After Dark?

Speaker A:

And I was like, it's got to be, like, kind of a little bit seedy, but, like, obviously it's chat gbt, so I don't want it to be, like, too over the top.

Speaker A:

So I was like, sounds like he runs a CD bikini car wash at night.

Speaker A:

So, like, I was trying to think about it.

Speaker A:

I haven't gotten around to, like, making it yet.

Speaker B:

But it's so weird how sometimes it'll, like, really filter it.

Speaker B:

It won't do certain things because it'll be like, it's inappropriate.

Speaker B:

But then other times, it'll just go off the wall and you're like, what?

Speaker A:

Yeah, like, I was having a problem last night.

Speaker A:

So I was.

Speaker A:

You know, everybody was trying to.

Speaker A:

You know, everybody's doing that, I think.

Speaker A:

Well, you did the bobbleheads, but everybody's been doing the.

Speaker A:

The action figures, right?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And so, like, I made one of me, like, as a.

Speaker A:

As a podcaster.

Speaker A:

Like, I even had it make, like, the.

Speaker A:

The golden mic.

Speaker A:

Oh, you can't.

Speaker A:

I don't know if you can see.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you can't see it.

Speaker A:

The golden mic, you know, came with the golden mic, comes with a microphone, headphones, all that stuff.

Speaker A:

And it was funny.

Speaker A:

Like, I sent it to Michelle, and she kind of laughed about it.

Speaker A:

She's like, you should do one for Haley, like, as cheer.

Speaker A:

So I took a picture of Haley that I had, and I asked it to create it, and it, like, the first time, it did a really good job, like, look like kind of like a cartoony version of Haley.

Speaker A:

And it.

Speaker A:

And it did, like, all the things.

Speaker A:

Like, it had a backpack, it had extra bows.

Speaker A:

But I forgot to remove the microphone and the laptop from the podcast one because I did it on the same chat gbt.

Speaker A:

I didn't switch.

Speaker A:

And so, like, I tried to make it again, but then it didn't look like Haley.

Speaker A:

So I was trying to.

Speaker A:

I kept trying to do it, and I said, no, use this picture.

Speaker A:

And finally, after, like, the fourth time, it kept prompt, giving me a prompt that it violated.

Speaker A:

It was in violation of, like, the terms or whatever.

Speaker A:

And I was like, because she's a kid.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

It won't let me do my son either.

Speaker B:

Certain ones that will.

Speaker B:

But, like, there was one.

Speaker B:

He was in the swimming pool, and it wouldn't let me do it.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

But it was cr.

Speaker A:

I was crazy.

Speaker A:

I was like, you just made this, like, Three times.

Speaker A:

You made it wrong three times.

Speaker A:

And like the one time, like it started making it right.

Speaker A:

Like it got halfway and then it stopped.

Speaker A:

So I, I just, I went and opened another chat GBT and then did.

Speaker A:

And then, and then it made it right.

Speaker A:

It made it made it look cool.

Speaker A:

And so yeah, it's, it's definitely like, I mean, I get it.

Speaker A:

I mean, obviously, you know, you want to be safe for the, for the kids and stuff like that, but it was just.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's wonky still.

Speaker A:

And like you were saying last night, you know, like, the more you use it, the more it kind of learns and the more it gets better.

Speaker A:

So I feel like the more I've started kind of introducing like my friends into this like, detail verse animated cartoon thing.

Speaker A:

Like the, the.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

And the, the cartoons start getting a little bit, you know, better looking and it's crazy, dude.

Speaker A:

Like even.

Speaker A:

I mean, it's got, it's got to be reading our phones like on the.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's got to.

Speaker B:

If you read the terms of condition, it probably reads everything.

Speaker A:

Yeah, because they're.

Speaker B:

An update today.

Speaker B:

It just popped up a little while ago.

Speaker B:

They just did an update that the memory is supposed to be even better now.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, I saw that.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, because it's weird, dude.

Speaker A:

Like, like when I ask it to create things about my friends and again, like, I'll give it like vague prompts, but it'll throw stuff in there that I'm like, wait, but that, that person really does that or has that or says that or.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, it's weird.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And you know, like I told you last night, dude, like, you know, to kind of.

Speaker A:

I mean, we've been kind of rambling.

Speaker A:

But to start this episode off, the first time I ever heard about chat GBT was in south park, you know.

Speaker B:

Oh, really?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So, you know, like, I don't know how other people have come across it, but I, I looked it up because I know you said you've been using it for like a couple of years now.

Speaker A:

So I looked up like when that episode of south park came out and it.

Speaker A:

And it came out in March of 23, so I guess that's probably, you know, right at the beginning, but.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but it was funny because I remember watching the episode and for anybody who hasn't seen it, you know, all the girls are texting.

Speaker A:

The, the boys and the boys don't know how to text back to the girls.

Speaker A:

So what they were doing was copying what the girls were texting.

Speaker A:

They were putting it in chat gbt chat GPT would give them an answer, they'd copy it and paste it back into the text to the girls.

Speaker A:

And so all the girls thought the, the guys like knew how to flirt or knew how to talk to girls or whatever.

Speaker A:

And, and you know, it was one of those things where I was like, I hadn't heard really that much about AI, you know, being like that.

Speaker A:

So I was like, I was like, ah, south park guys are tripping on this stuff, you know.

Speaker A:

But I googled it, you know, I was like, south park chat gbt.

Speaker A:

And like it, it came up, it was a real thing.

Speaker A:

And, and I mean, like, I played around with it a little bit, but, but it was one of those things that was just like a novelty, right?

Speaker A:

And then I would say it was probably, it's probably been a year or so now that I really started like using it a little bit more.

Speaker A:

Not a ton, but I was using it a little bit more.

Speaker A:

Like I'd, I'd start asking it questions like, hey, how do you do this?

Speaker A:

Or how do you do that?

Speaker A:

But still not like on a regular enough basis.

Speaker A:

And really it probably wasn't until, I don't know, last six, seven months, like you start hearing about it, more people are using it more using it for things.

Speaker A:

Like, I started using it when, you know, I, I, Michelle would take something out for dinner and I'd be like, man, I just don't want like the same old, same old.

Speaker A:

So I'd go and chat GPT and I'd say, you know, I have chicken breast, I have broccoli, I have rice, I have whatever.

Speaker A:

Can you make?

Speaker A:

You know, can you give me a recipe?

Speaker A:

And then like, bam, like that.

Speaker B:

It's, you can actually upload a picture now of what's in your fridge and it'll do it.

Speaker B:

You don't even say anything.

Speaker B:

Just give me a recipe.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I haven't tried it, but I seen it.

Speaker B:

So it says, yeah, just you upload the picture and say, give me a recipe based on what I have in the fridge and it'll just give me whatever it can.

Speaker B:

I haven't tried it yet, but I seen the question pop up.

Speaker B:

I don't know what I was.

Speaker A:

I have to do that.

Speaker A:

So, so I have, you know, more recently started using it in my business.

Speaker A:

You know, I'll use it for my Google my business posts.

Speaker A:

You know what I'll do is I'll, I'll take a picture of a car, I'll put, you know, a car that I worked on.

Speaker A:

I'll put it in there and say write me a Google my business post for this vehicle.

Speaker A:

This is the service I did, you know, and it'll bam.

Speaker A:

It'll put it out and it's nice because then I can just copy and paste it and put it in my Google.

Speaker A:

My business I've started recently because I take so many walk around videos of, of cars, you know, after they're done.

Speaker A:

I've started recently like putting them into my YouTube channel for my, for my business that I started forever ago.

Speaker A:

Uploaded a few videos and whatever and not.

Speaker A:

And so I'll do the kind of the same thing.

Speaker A:

What I'll do is I'll take a picture of the vehicle because Chat GPT doesn't do video yet.

Speaker A:

I'll put the picture in there and say, hey, can you write me a, you know, like if I'm doing a short, like if I do a walk around video, I'll do a YouTube short and just say can you give me a, a YouTube short?

Speaker A:

Like because it's, I think it's like limited to like 50 characters or something like that for YouTube short and it'll put it out.

Speaker A:

Or if I'm doing like an actual video, I'll ask out exit.

Speaker A:

I'll ask it to give me a title, a YouTube title and then a YouTube description and then I'll just copy and paste it in there.

Speaker A:

But you know, talking to you last night and that's what you know, kind of prompted us to have this episode is you were telling me about how much more you use it for like an employee and the things that you do with it that maybe a lot of people aren't using it for.

Speaker A:

So I'm going to turn the mic over to you now and let you start talking about the things you use it for other than silly bobbleheads and, and, and all the other things that Walt doing y.

Speaker B:

So there's, there's such a huge variety I got on last night and it was just kind of playing around with it again.

Speaker B:

So I had some fresh stuff for today, but you can do market analysis like specific to your region.

Speaker B:

So like I'm in western New York, it's very, very small area.

Speaker B:

as how it's going to go from:

Speaker B:

And let me see.

Speaker B:

Oh, we got to share the screen to show you that, don't I?

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

Hang on, I'll get, I'll get it up here.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Can you see it now?

Speaker A:

Yeah, I can see it.

Speaker B:

Okay, so we'll go to.

Speaker B:

I gotta find the one I was using because I was playing with so many different things.

Speaker A:

I know.

Speaker A:

That's the other thing is you get, you get so many different.

Speaker A:

And that was the thing I didn't realize at the beginning.

Speaker A:

I, I just kept always asking it the same thing.

Speaker A:

I didn't realize for a while that you could open up different chat GPT so that you could keep them separate.

Speaker A:

And then it always remembers and it always titles it.

Speaker A:

And then even if you open up a, a different chat GPT, it'll pull memory from a chat GPT that you had like months ago.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

If it, if it, if it works with the new, the new, the new prompt that you're asking it.

Speaker B:

Trying to see if I can split my screen so I can still see you.

Speaker B:

There we go.

Speaker B:

All right, now I can see what I'm doing here.

Speaker B:

It's not as weird for me now that I can see too.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker B:

So like for example, last night I asked it to analyze my Facebook page and analyze it with my competitors.

Speaker B:

So I put in my, my closest competitors, which I'm friends with most of them, but.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Just to get an idea.

Speaker B:

So it reviewed everything.

Speaker B:

It gives you a competitive landscape overview, tells you your strengths, tells you their strengths, opportunities on what you should be doing.

Speaker B:

So like, for me it was branding consistency.

Speaker B:

So I have a hard time remembering to put my logo on all of my uploaded pictures, videos, stuff like that.

Speaker B:

And that was one thing that it picked up on that I could improve on.

Speaker B:

I, for some reason it was not picking up Google reviews very well last night.

Speaker B:

I have no idea why.

Speaker B:

Okay, usually it does, but it, it just wouldn't do it.

Speaker B:

So it's same thing for the other competitors.

Speaker B:

Strategies to outperform them.

Speaker B:

So you can enhance visual branding, expand service offerings, leverage customer testimonials.

Speaker B:

So basically what it did is it went in and seen what they were not doing and areas that would get me more traction.

Speaker A:

Gotcha.

Speaker B:

So different ways to engage with the community.

Speaker B:

Optimize online booking, because none of those places offer online booking.

Speaker B:

Okay, so that was a big one.

Speaker B:

You always want to double check everything too.

Speaker B:

Obviously it's chat gbt.

Speaker B:

It can still be wrong.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

When I tried to get it to pull the Google review comparison, it was telling me not specified.

Speaker B:

When there's 51 on mine it says act key highlights active social media presence with engaging content.

Speaker B:

Z bar.

Speaker B:

Mixed reviews, some praise for service, others no issues with Attention to detail.

Speaker B:

So the reason that's good when it actually does load all those Google reviews is you could go in and ask it to find their weaknesses.

Speaker B:

So let's say that they, like, commonly are missing certain areas or doing certain things.

Speaker B:

So now you have that.

Speaker B:

That mindset.

Speaker B:

You can go in and with your customers, you can make sure to touch on those pain points.

Speaker B:

Or when you're advertising, you can target that type of specific.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's smart.

Speaker B:

The word is.

Speaker A:

But like, that's specific service.

Speaker A:

Like if they're missing on rocker panels and you're like, hey, we polish rocker panels.

Speaker A:

You know.

Speaker A:

Yeah, let's keep that joke rolling a little bit.

Speaker B:

Yeah, right Again, it was wrong here.

Speaker B:

I have 51 reviews, but they're on Google.

Speaker B:

They're not on Facebook.

Speaker B:

This was saying that they were coming from Facebook.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I think I have like seven on there.

Speaker B:

You can ask it to create a whole graph so that you can save it or download it or share it to social media, whatever you want to do.

Speaker B:

So, like, I put create a graph and then once I did that, it asked me if I wanted one to share online or broken down by platform.

Speaker B:

So if I want it for Google, if I want it for Facebook, Instagram, it will actually format it specifically to those.

Speaker B:

If you want to share it.

Speaker A:

What's the graph of?

Speaker A:

Like what.

Speaker B:

This is just for the reviews.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

So it shows.

Speaker B:

So it shows your ratings, which is the blue bars, and then the.

Speaker B:

The red graph is the amount of reviews.

Speaker A:

Gotcha.

Speaker B:

Which again, it was backwards because I was trying to do it for Google.

Speaker B:

Elite Creations has more on Facebook than they do Google.

Speaker B:

But I mean, it still worked.

Speaker B:

It wouldn't do the.

Speaker B:

I was trying to get it to actually check the metrics for every page, but it won't.

Speaker B:

You can go in and upload your own analytics from.

Speaker B:

You can download them.

Speaker B:

You have to do it on desktop, but you can download all your analytics from Facebook and upload them and then chat.

Speaker B:

GPT will help you from there.

Speaker B:

As far as telling you what time of day you should post, what days you should post, who you should target, what demographics you should target.

Speaker B:

I believe it did give me some of the demographics in here.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker A:

Because that's always my.

Speaker A:

My problem is I never know, like, what's the best time to post.

Speaker A:

For me, it's more of like, oh, I forgot to post something today.

Speaker A:

Like, let me do it now while I'm thinking about it, you know, so, like, I might.

Speaker A:

I might make one post like, you know, in the.

Speaker A:

And then the next time I post it's in the evening and then the next time I post it's in the afternoon and then, you know, so I.

Speaker B:

Do the same thing.

Speaker B:

Even though I use Chat jpd, I still find myself doing that because it's.

Speaker B:

Yeah, you can, you can set it so that it posts whenever you want it to, but.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

I usually just do it when I'm supposed to be working.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

On other things.

Speaker B:

This is, this is where I had to pull the industry outlook 25 to 30.

Speaker B:

to:

Speaker B:

It just says that it's expected to grow from 38.9 billion to.

Speaker A:

Is that 56?

Speaker B:

56.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker B:

Based on consumer spending on luxury vehicle upgrades.

Speaker B:

It gives you the links to the sources so that you can go back and check them.

Speaker B:

And then I had it break it down into local market dynamics.

Speaker B:

So even though because Jamestown has a population of I think we have like 25, 000 people in our city.

Speaker B:

So it's a lot harder to do.

Speaker B:

So it has to break it up kind of by region to do it.

Speaker B:

But it basically tells you why it's increasing what the competitive landscape is.

Speaker B:

So this is really good for the detail shops that are kind of just starting out because when I started I couldn't get this information.

Speaker B:

Like, like when you open a franchise, for example, they have teams of people that do all of this stuff.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

And when you're a small owner operator business, you can't afford to have a team go out and do all this stuff.

Speaker B:

So that's where using chat GPT for 20 bucks a month does all that for you.

Speaker B:

It'll give you strategic opportunities.

Speaker B:

It tells you like here it tells me to introduce eco friendly and sustainable detailing options because that's the up and coming trend according to all of the analysis that it's done.

Speaker B:

For me, I've done more than just this.

Speaker B:

This is just what I did last night.

Speaker B:

But it's kind of going back on all of it.

Speaker B:

Your projected revenue growth.

Speaker B:

This is for a sole owner operator.

Speaker B:

So like me.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

These numbers are not going to look big to people like in your area in Orlando.

Speaker B:

They're going to look really small.

Speaker B:

But just to give you an idea, the average median income here is about 20,000.

Speaker B:

So they're actually really high.

Speaker B:

It does say it based on market conditions and the strategies you implement.

Speaker B:

So it's not saying hey, you're going to make this much money.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

It's saying if you, if, if on a, in a perfect day, perfect world, that's what's going to happen.

Speaker A:

Right, Right.

Speaker A:

But that's pretty cool because, I mean, regardless of where you're from, if you're from, you know, a smaller, you know, populated area like yourself, or a big popular populated area like, like me, or even somebody who's even bigger populated, like some of these places out in, you know, Texas and California or whatever that are bigger than Orlando or whatever, that's a pretty cool tool to be able to see what your growth could be because that's, you know, that's something that everybody kind of does is.

Speaker A:

Is a.

Speaker A:

Is everybody always tries to project what they're gonna do in a year.

Speaker A:

I mean.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

Myself included.

Speaker A:

I mean, like, I know, you know, I'm, you know, like yourself a single operator.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And, you know, I, you know, talked about it enough on this podcast where my shop is more of a lifestyle business.

Speaker A:

So I'm not trying to push it to the max.

Speaker A:

I just want to, you know, live a comfortable lifestyle.

Speaker A:

But I still try to be like, okay, well, you know, I made X amount year.

Speaker A:

Hopefully we do, you know, growth this year to make this much more.

Speaker A:

So, you know, being able to have that and, and kind of know, like, okay, well, if we do have that kind of growth every year, then, you know, in five years we go, you know, we grow by that much.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's a pretty cool thing to at least have.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And, and what's nice is, like, someone like me, as far as running a business, I understand profit and loss, things like that.

Speaker B:

What I never really understood was things like projections and that aspect of it.

Speaker B:

So when I'm able to go in there and look at that, it helps me with setting realistic goals rather than just saying, oh, I want to.

Speaker B:

I want to make this much, but I have no plan.

Speaker B:

I have no idea if it's feasible.

Speaker B:

I've never fed my numbers into this.

Speaker B:

And I can tell you that those numbers that gave me are damn near accurate from what I've seen.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And I've never fed anything as far as numbers go, so it.

Speaker B:

It can be very, very accurate.

Speaker B:

I have seen it be completely off sometimes, but for the most part, it's pretty accurate.

Speaker B:

Another thing that is awesome.

Speaker B:

You know, we see people all the time.

Speaker B:

They're saying, oh, another detail shop stole my pictures and they're posting them.

Speaker B:

Right?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So that actually happened recently.

Speaker B:

Someone's another detail.

Speaker B:

In our group chat, someone basically copy and pasted his post.

Speaker B:

I wrote him up a seasoned assist for that person to send them, and it took all of 10 seconds.

Speaker B:

And then he's like, hey, can you do Spanish?

Speaker B:

And we did it in Spanish for him.

Speaker A:

Nice.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's.

Speaker A:

So I had an incident.

Speaker A:

A lot of, a lot of people don't know this.

Speaker A:

Towards the end of last year, I was approached to by somebody who wanted to.

Speaker A:

What's the word I'm looking for here?

Speaker A:

Oh, God dang it.

Speaker A:

Come on, Alex, think.

Speaker A:

They wanted to, they wanted to basically license the podcast.

Speaker A:

So like, I would still do what I was doing, but they wanted to license it to be able to put it on their page.

Speaker A:

And they were going to pay me a pretty okay amount of money, decent amount of money.

Speaker A:

And they sent me a contract and, and one of my clients, one of my really good clients is a lawyer.

Speaker A:

And I had him look it over and, and he's like, Alex, he's like, don't, don't sign that.

Speaker A:

Like that's, it's a one sided contract.

Speaker A:

Like it's all for them and not for you.

Speaker A:

And so I said, okay.

Speaker A:

I said, that's, you know, and he was, and he, and he told me, he said, he said, this, this doesn't work.

Speaker A:

This doesn't work.

Speaker A:

This doesn't work, you know, like in the contract.

Speaker A:

And so like I went back and I, and I told the, the people and they said, well, what do you want to do?

Speaker A:

And I said, well, look, I, like, I want to protect myself.

Speaker A:

This is, you know, not something I'm starting from scratch.

Speaker A:

It's, it's a, it's a business for the most part for me.

Speaker A:

And it's something I've been working on for four and a half years.

Speaker A:

I don't want to lose it because, you know, I signed this contract.

Speaker A:

So they told me, they said, look, you, you do your contract and, and then we'll go from there.

Speaker A:

And so like I talked to my lawyer and he's like, look, dude, he's like, I could write you one, but it ain't gonna be expensive.

Speaker A:

He's like, just, you know, Google, Google licensing contact.

Speaker A:

So I actually went into chat GPT and I said, hey, create a podcast licensing agreement with A, B, C, D, E, F, G on my side, XYZ on their side.

Speaker A:

And, and like you said, like in less than a minute it prints out this full on licensing agreement.

Speaker A:

And so I sent it to my client, the lawyer and he looks it over and he goes, man, where'd you get this from?

Speaker A:

I was like, Dude, Chachi BT did it in like 30 seconds.

Speaker A:

He's like, no way.

Speaker A:

And I go, yeah, he Goes, this is really good.

Speaker A:

And he goes, he goes, I would think that a lawyer wrote this.

Speaker A:

He's like, I'm gonna have to start looking in the chat GPT for something, so.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker A:

So, yeah, I mean, that's.

Speaker A:

It's crazy how you can use it for, like, stuff like that.

Speaker A:

It's like, like I, like I said earlier in this podcast, and, and, and it's almost like you can't not ask it anything.

Speaker A:

Like, anything you can think of, you can ask it and it'll do it like, you know, which is crazy.

Speaker A:

It's nuts.

Speaker B:

It's wild how it just.

Speaker B:

It understands.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Like, in fact, for example, the what I was trying to play for you, I put make it a little more chill, add some humor.

Speaker B:

I, I had it make a joke about the energy drinks.

Speaker B:

And then I said, I want you to send only the responses that will be playing it as audio for it to appear that you are actually speaking.

Speaker B:

And so then this is what it came up with.

Speaker B:

Hey, Alex, thanks for having me on the Detail Solutions podcast.

Speaker B:

I'm Natasha.

Speaker B:

Think of me as the AI co pilot for detailers who are doing it all and still trying to find time to breathe.

Speaker B:

I've been teaming up with Walt from Phoenix Detail and to help shop owners like him work smarter, not harder.

Speaker B:

Whether that's writing fake Facebook posts that don't sound like a robot wrote them, dialing in service menus, or crafting texts that actually get replies.

Speaker B:

I'm here 24 7, no coffee breaks required.

Speaker B:

And honestly, part of my job is making sure Walt keeps his hands off those energy drinks before he starts ceramic coating the neighbor's mailbox.

Speaker A:

So that's pretty awesome.

Speaker B:

Like, you just, you, you tell it what you want.

Speaker B:

Like I told it I was to come on this podcast.

Speaker B:

I said, give me five topics on how you can help.

Speaker B:

And it says, you know, the marketing, the business operations, customer communication and retention.

Speaker B:

So the customer communication is, is a really great one for people that don't know how to necessarily maybe articulate things in the way they need to be articulated.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Or if you get even a difficult customer like I had, it wasn't a difficult customer, but I got, I have one four star review.

Speaker B:

It's the only one.

Speaker B:

And I wasn't how exactly to respond to it.

Speaker B:

I don't think it's on here anymore.

Speaker B:

But I, I put it in there.

Speaker B:

I explained that I only had one.

Speaker B:

I wanted to make it right.

Speaker B:

And if I would have went and replied to that Google review, it would have been 10 pages long.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

I'm sorry, how do I fix this?

Speaker B:

Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker B:

It did it in like three sentences.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And it was perfect.

Speaker B:

So it, it really helps to clarify things, technical things.

Speaker B:

Like, I don't know if you've seen my post the other day where I had that charger in here and I had those little specks in it and Knoxy said it was from overspray.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So I actually, I had never heard that before.

Speaker B:

So I came into here and somewhere it's in here.

Speaker B:

Right here.

Speaker B:

Overspray etching on paint.

Speaker B:

And I said, on a vehicle paint job, what is overspray etching?

Speaker B:

And it literally told me everything so that I could be able to explain it to the client what exactly was on his vehicle, because I had no idea.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And sometimes we get way too technical when we do try to explain it.

Speaker B:

So he's a pretty technical guy, so I didn't have to change it up for him.

Speaker B:

But you could go in and just do something like this, like make it understandable to the average person.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And that's, that's the thing like you were saying with, you know, typing out a 10 page, you know, response or something.

Speaker A:

I've, I've started doing that a lot where, like if I'm doing a text or an email or, you know, something, I'll type it the way that like I would say it so it sounds like me.

Speaker A:

And then I'll copy and paste it in the chat GPT.

Speaker A:

And in chatGPT, you'll take it and clean it up.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And you know, write punctuation.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

Words and things like that.

Speaker A:

And it's, it's cool because I've started, I feel like I've started learning from Chat GPT because the last couple of times I've typed things out and put it in Chat GPT.

Speaker A:

Chat GPT is like, it's pretty solid.

Speaker A:

Let's just do this.

Speaker A:

And it changes like one word.

Speaker A:

You know, I'm like, I'm like, okay, cool.

Speaker A:

Like, I don't sound like an idiot.

Speaker A:

Then when I'm typing this stuff exactly it.

Speaker B:

But yes.

Speaker B:

So breaks it down.

Speaker B:

So if I had to explain it to him easier, it's just, it's, it's fast, it's easy, it's simple.

Speaker B:

It takes all the guesswork out of it.

Speaker B:

And it, it makes your job as a detailer easier because we, like, we talked about yesterday with the word paint correction.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Half these people don't know what that means.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

So when you do, let's say I get a 70 year old man that happens to know how to use Facebook and he messages me, he's not going to know what I'm talking about if I just go off on a tangent about bank correction.

Speaker B:

So I can go in here and say, hey, explain this like you're talking to a 70 year old man.

Speaker B:

Yeah, and it'll make it that easy.

Speaker B:

And you can do it with anything.

Speaker B:

I mean there's, you can use it for business consulting, customer relations.

Speaker B:

I mean literally anything you can think of.

Speaker A:

You know, the one thing I never thought about with it, and it's probably one of the simplest things.

Speaker A:

So at, at mte, earlier this year, Brian guy introduced me to this guy Sasha, he's from Germany.

Speaker A:

And so Sasha and I were talking because we were doing the first ever bank correction competition@mte and Sasha was telling me that they've been doing one in, in Germany for like the last eight years.

Speaker A:

And so he was, and, and his English was like kind of.

Speaker A:

Okay, so he was kind of telling me how they do it over there.

Speaker A:

He was curious to see how we were going to do it over here.

Speaker A:

And so after MTE, we were messaging each other on, on WhatsApp and he sends me this really long post and I'm, and I'm reading through it and at the end it says, I hope this translated well.

Speaker A:

I'm using Chat GPT to translate my German to English.

Speaker A:

And I was like, oh my God, I never thought about that.

Speaker A:

So my, so I typed my reply back to him and I type, you know, translate this into German and then typed my reply back to him and sent it and said the same thing like, hope this comes out right.

Speaker A:

I use Chat GBT too and he like gave me thumbs up.

Speaker A:

So you know, like the simplest things.

Speaker A:

I, I never would have thought about using it to translate, you know, different languages or, or whatever.

Speaker B:

So yeah, you can use it for your radio commercials.

Speaker B:

I mean you can use it for literally anything.

Speaker A:

Oh dude, it's, it's the, the, the commercials I run on the podcast that maybe I'll insert here.

Speaker A:

This podcast is sponsored by Detailed Image.

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

Those are, those are Chachi PT.

Speaker A:

I go into chat GPT and say write me an ad for insert, you know, whoever I'm advertising at the time.

Speaker A:

Like now it's detailed image, autofiber, whatever and it writes, it writes the ad for me and then I just record myself reading it.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker B:

So just at that time we were talking, I just had it right up 30 seconds.

Speaker B:

Radio commercial.

Speaker B:

I haven't read it yet so I don't know how good it is, but it just wrote it.

Speaker B:

But you can tweak it.

Speaker B:

I mean and like these are all the other things I was telling you about here on the left that we were talking about yesterday.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So you can link it into Canva for your marketing materials.

Speaker B:

Let's say you have a kid in the waiting room.

Speaker B:

You can click color and book hero and tell it to make a coloring page of anything you want and print it out and give it to the kid with some crayons.

Speaker A:

Oh wow.

Speaker B:

It'll help you with Google sheets.

Speaker B:

You have a tech support, like I was telling you at the beginning that I was trying to change the toner in my printer.

Speaker B:

Hashtag generators, copywriters.

Speaker B:

This is for your like Facebook ads and stuff like that.

Speaker B:

Luxury brand marketing research, business consultants.

Speaker B:

I mean you literally could replay, not replace.

Speaker B:

I wouldn't say replace, but if you're someone that is borderline needing an employee.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Versus being able to afford employees.

Speaker B:

So like I got a quote for a part time employee.

Speaker B:

It was going to be just for workman's comp.

Speaker B:

$15,000 a year.

Speaker B:

I can use Chat GPT to automate most anything I need to do office wise to save me enough time that I don't need to hire someone to work in the office space for.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And it's 20amonth.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So when you're on that fence where you need that little bit of extra help but not.

Speaker B:

You can't justify spending that much money.

Speaker B:

That's where to me Chat GPT comes in.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Everything from helping you with your ads to, you know, bringing people in.

Speaker A:

So that's one of the things I want to.

Speaker A:

Let's talk about the ads.

Speaker A:

Because.

Speaker A:

Because talking last night with you, you had some really cool ideas that I never thought about.

Speaker A:

So typically when I, you know, do an ad, I'll just go in and say, write me a Facebook ad for, you know, insert service, whatever service.

Speaker A:

I want to try and put ceramic coating, interior detail.

Speaker A:

But you had an actual really cool, outside of the box way of.

Speaker A:

Of thinking of running ads.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker B:

So I.

Speaker B:

I like.

Speaker B:

Marketing has become a hobby to me.

Speaker B:

So when I see commercials that are kind of.

Speaker B:

I guess I don't really know what the word is, but there's always those commercials that catch your attention.

Speaker B:

They're different.

Speaker B:

And the one that stuck in my mind when I started this was the Pepsi commercial where Coke took a shot at them, saying they sold more Coke than they sold.

Speaker B:

Then Pepsi sold pe.

Speaker B:

So I put that ad in to Chad GPT and I said I wanted to incorporate a similarly humorous Facebook post for my detail shop versus the other detail shops.

Speaker B:

So we had to go back and forth a little bit to get it just right, but it would change different things.

Speaker B:

And it did start trying to tell me something with a vending machine, which obviously doesn't make sense for a detail shop, but you keep playing with it.

Speaker B:

And these are the ones that really got my attention was the dating profile one.

Speaker B:

I think I was telling you about that one, the tip profile.

Speaker B:

So I.

Speaker B:

I've been working on that one a little bit more.

Speaker B:

I haven't finalized it, but that'll probably be the first one I do.

Speaker B:

But you.

Speaker B:

If you start with a good idea, it's going to give you even better ideas.

Speaker B:

So you can definitely put in a generic prompt like just create a Facebook ad and it'll do it.

Speaker B:

But if you have a baseline, if you saw an advertisement or you saw some type of marketing that caught your attention and you really want to do that, you can put that in there and start working with it.

Speaker B:

And what's nice is you can continue going back to that chat.

Speaker B:

It'll continue getting better every time.

Speaker B:

So you can just keep building on it.

Speaker B:

So, like I said, mock up a visual and caption for the kid with the sponges as well as the swipe right.

Speaker B:

And that's where the sponge one didn't really impress me.

Speaker B:

But the swipe white swipe right one.

Speaker B:

Sorry.

Speaker B:

It literally told me exactly how to make it.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I mean, broke it down exactly.

Speaker B:

Like dating profile, it has learned from me that I like to add humor in a lot of My stuff, which I think is what kind of helped it do that.

Speaker B:

And then, you know, the caption was tired of getting ghosted by quality Swipe right on your shop name, which that, to me, I lost that.

Speaker B:

I thought that was hilarious.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And so, like right here it says, want help turning these into a Canva or Photoshop template?

Speaker B:

So it'll actually help you design it through Canva.

Speaker B:

You can put in, you can upload your picture from Canva of your flyer and it'll help you fine tune it from there.

Speaker B:

It'll tell you what to change.

Speaker B:

I don't think I have any in here right now.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, I've just, I haven't.

Speaker A:

I haven't linked.

Speaker A:

I haven't really played with it on Canva.

Speaker A:

I've been having it make pictures for me.

Speaker A:

I actually, a couple weeks ago when we had the marketing guy on John, one of the things that he talked about was running a, a Facebook contest, you know, where you, you give something away.

Speaker A:

You have, you know, all anybody has to do is, you know, just click the ad, fill out their information.

Speaker A:

And his whole thing was because, like, you give one away for free, but you get all these hundreds, hopefully of other people that then you, you reach out to them and you go, hey, sorry, you got second place.

Speaker A:

We'll give you the same thing for a discounted rate.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

And it was crazy when I asked Chachi BT to help me create that for the giveaway that I wanted to do.

Speaker A:

So I wanted to give away.

Speaker A:

I wanted something kind of easy because I didn't want to give away a to of like, I didn't want to do like a polishing job or ceramic coating because I didn't want to give anything away.

Speaker A:

That took a lot of my time.

Speaker A:

I wanted, I wanted to try and start with something small.

Speaker A:

So I did a 350 wash clay and, and sealant job.

Speaker A:

And, and man, I'll tell you, the picture that it created for me did not look like AI generated it.

Speaker A:

Like, I.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

I even sent it.

Speaker A:

I was talking with Mike Cardenas about it and I sent it to him and he's like, dude, Chachi bt.

Speaker A:

And this was, this was before I started because I only started paying for it last night after I talked to you.

Speaker A:

So this was a couple of weeks ago on the free version.

Speaker A:

And Mike couldn't believe, like, that it was an AI generated picture because it looked real.

Speaker A:

It looked like somebody really took the picture, put it in the canva, and then overlaid the words over it.

Speaker A:

Like, I couldn't Believe how good it was.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it's nuts.

Speaker A:

And then, and then I don't know.

Speaker A:

The Comcaster 2.0 picture that I uploaded.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that was awesome.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker A:

That was badass.

Speaker A:

I didn't.

Speaker B:

That was awesome.

Speaker A:

I wasn't, I wasn't expecting it to come out that badass.

Speaker A:

I was.

Speaker B:

The more people that use it, the better it gets.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And again, I just, you know, like the, the first prompt, I said, you know, can you make a picture of King Kong roaring into the microphone?

Speaker A:

And so it.

Speaker A:

Or wearing headphones?

Speaker A:

And so it did.

Speaker A:

And I was like, oh, man, I wonder if so.

Speaker A:

So what I was going to do is I was going to try and use my.

Speaker A:

I took in Canva.

Speaker A:

I was gonna use the, the logo and put the logo on the headphones like the original one, but it just didn't look right.

Speaker A:

So then I went back into chat GPT.

Speaker A:

I put the picture of Kong roaring into the microphone wearing the headphones.

Speaker A:

I put the picture of my logo and I said, now can you do it with the podcast logo on the headphones?

Speaker A:

And then it put it in there perfectly.

Speaker A:

And that was, that was the one I posted last night.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

2.0.

Speaker A:

And it's funny because then I had.

Speaker A:

I had a few people either comment or message me, is that going to be a new shirt?

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker A:

So I don't know, maybe we'll do another shirt.

Speaker A:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

We'll see.

Speaker B:

Nice.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I mean, it, it definitely like, I mean, marketing is a big one.

Speaker B:

I know that.

Speaker B:

You know, the bigger shops obviously are using marketing agencies.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker B:

But like there's.

Speaker B:

I started really getting into the chat GPT for the marketing because when I first opened, there was no way I could afford hire a marketing agency.

Speaker B:

I couldn't pay for SEO.

Speaker B:

I couldn't do any of that.

Speaker B:

I ended up building my website myself.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's not fancy at all.

Speaker B:

I mean, you can tell I built it myself, but I use chat GPT to do it.

Speaker B:

So it just, it.

Speaker B:

It basically it levels the playing field so that your guys that are just coming into it or your guys that are, you know, in markets like mine where we're not doing, you know, a million dollars a year, we can still compete with the bigger companies.

Speaker B:

Like, I'm actually.

Speaker B:

My ads right now that I'm, I'm working on, I'm focused on.

Speaker B:

On a chain detail shop.

Speaker B:

That's who I'm kind of trying to compete with.

Speaker B:

I'm not necessarily trying to go after, you know, the other small shops.

Speaker B:

I feel like I have the ability now that I can compete with the.

Speaker B:

The big dogs, so to speak.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

And it just, it levels it.

Speaker B:

I mean, I can have it analyze their ads and compare it to mine and tell me what to do different.

Speaker B:

And it cost me $20.

Speaker B:

I'm not saying it's better than hiring a marketing agency.

Speaker B:

I'm saying it's a.

Speaker B:

It's a step in the right direction for people that either can't afford it or don't want to spend that right now.

Speaker A:

Yeah, well, let's be honest.

Speaker A:

I mean, people in that marketing agency might be using chat GBT too, for sure.

Speaker B:

I've seen detail marketers say, oh, check out these ads you can buy.

Speaker B:

You know, we'll give you 20 of them for X amount of dollars.

Speaker B:

And I'm like, used that same template in canva 2 days ago for free.

Speaker B:

Like, what are you doing?

Speaker B:

All you're doing is switching the picture in there.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker B:

And, and that's what, that's actually what got me into canvas.

Speaker B:

I was trying to figure out where they're doing it because I'm like, all these ads look the same.

Speaker A:

Right, right.

Speaker B:

So they're getting them somewhere.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And that's how I discovered it.

Speaker B:

So I just, I.

Speaker B:

I've always been.

Speaker B:

I want to do as much on my own as I can to be able to build the business without spending money where I don't need to spend money yet kind of thing.

Speaker A:

Right, right, exactly.

Speaker A:

And that's.

Speaker A:

And that's smart.

Speaker A:

I mean, like, I mean, let's be honest.

Speaker A:

I mean, depending on who you talk to or where you're at right now, the economy is a little topsy turvy.

Speaker A:

You know, you don't know if people are going to be spending money right now or they're holding on to it.

Speaker A:

You know, I.

Speaker A:

I mean, I hate to see all these tariffs because I was talking with Ian the other day, and Ian's like, dude, like, I.

Speaker A:

I don't know, you know, because he gets all his jobs from China.

Speaker A:

He's like, he's like, I gotta try and figure out my pricing.

Speaker A:

ll throw us back to kind of a:

Speaker A:

People might necessarily not want to go out and buy a new car right now because of the tariff prices.

Speaker A:

So they go, you know what?

Speaker A:

I'll hang on to my car a little bit.

Speaker A:

Let me just go spend you know, a couple hundred thousand dollars or not a hundred thousand, but a couple hundred or thousand dollars, you know, on a detail and.

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

be we have another, you know,:

Speaker A:

It would be nice, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

You know, but like I, I was talking to my client the other day that I did.

Speaker A:

I redid his wife's Bentley.

Speaker A:

And, and they're one of my clients that like, dude, they keep a car a year, a little over a year is like surprisingly.

Speaker A:

And they've had this one like almost two now.

Speaker A:

And you know, and he's like, he's like, man, he goes, I, I told her the other day, he, you know, because I got the email from the, from the dealership that, you know, if we were going to order something, we had to done it by last Friday.

Speaker A:

Otherwise tariff, you know, tariff pricing was going to take over.

Speaker A:

And, and his wife wants a car, he doesn't want to buy her.

Speaker A:

So he goes, you're keeping this one.

Speaker A:

We'll call Alex and just have it recoded.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker B:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

And I always said that detailing, the detailing industry is recession resistant.

Speaker B:

Not recession proof, but recession resistant.

Speaker B:

Because if you get the people that are going to not buy a vehicle because of it, they're going to want to maintain them.

Speaker B:

So you're going to see the repair shops do better, you're going to see the detail shops do better and then there's going to be the people that can afford it.

Speaker B:

But when they do buy that vehicle at a higher price, they're going to want to protect it.

Speaker B:

And that's where your PPF and your ceramic coatings and everything are going to come in.

Speaker B:

We've seen it.

Speaker B:

In:

Speaker B:

And we've seen it during COVID the prices were sky high.

Speaker B:

And that's the most recent example of the, you know, the people that could afford it wanted them protected.

Speaker B:

The people that couldn't wanted them just really basically restored inside because they were going to be in it for a while or they wanted the maximum they could get for their trading value.

Speaker B:

So I think if people are positioning themselves right and marketing right, then I think we'll be okay.

Speaker B:

I mean, there's going to be a slump, I'm sure as far as like the high ticket sales maybe, but I mean it's going to be different depending on the areas.

Speaker B:

But if you're, if you're paying attention to it, I, I Think everybody will be fine in the detailing industry?

Speaker B:

I could be wrong.

Speaker B:

I'm not a marketing expert by any means, but, yeah, I've been around, so I've seen it.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And it's.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

You know, I think, you know, the other thing too, is if you are smart enough to not get in over your head, even when it gets rough, you can still survive it.

Speaker A:

You know, the.

Speaker A:

The thing is, a lot of these guys, they have a couple of good months, they make a ton of money, and then they go out and they get the big shop that they can't really afford.

Speaker A:

You know, they buy the new car that they can't really afford.

Speaker A:

You know, and then if something happens and it's like, oh, you know.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you know, and that's.

Speaker A:

That's one of the things that I.

Speaker A:

I've stayed.

Speaker A:

Where I've stayed for so long is because my rent's 400amonth.

Speaker A:

Like.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And there's.

Speaker B:

There's always things that you can't plan for.

Speaker B:

Like, we had our.

Speaker B:

We had our worst winter this year that we've had in five, six years.

Speaker B:

We didn't see that coming.

Speaker B:

My heating bills for here are between 800 and a thousand dollars a month.

Speaker B:

Wow.

Speaker B:

Where last year I was washing cars outside this time of year in a T shirt.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

And I never expected it.

Speaker B:

And I was.

Speaker B:

It was my best year I had in business.

Speaker B:

It was my second year, and I was making money.

Speaker B:

And I'm like, you know what?

Speaker B:

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Speaker B:

And I was spending money like El Chapo.

Speaker B:

We went on vacation.

Speaker B:

We were in Vegas.

Speaker B:

I was blowing money.

Speaker B:

I came back, business got slow.

Speaker B:

And then winter hit, and let me tell you what, I was getting nervous because we had added on to our shop.

Speaker B:

We added another.

Speaker B:

I think it was like 650 square feet heat.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker B:

So that increased the heating too, because it's all block walls.

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker B:

The walls are insulated.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So I.

Speaker B:

I took on a bunch more expense just because of that, that I didn't plan for.

Speaker B:

So that's.

Speaker B:

You gotta definitely keep that in mind when you're doing really well.

Speaker B:

Like, you gotta be like, okay, I gotta set some of this aside because I got nervous for a while.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

It's definitely better just to squirrel it all the way.

Speaker A:

And honestly, I mean, let's be real.

Speaker A:

I mean, if you're.

Speaker A:

If you're not worried but concerned, just like you did with your projections with CHAT GPT, you could go into CHAT GPT and say, hey, look, this is where I'm at.

Speaker A:

You know, what should I do?

Speaker A:

How should I look at it?

Speaker A:

And I'm, and I'm pretty sure Chat GPT will, will basically write you kind of a business plan of for sure.

Speaker A:

You know, how you, how you take what you have to invest it into the business, grow the business or whatever.

Speaker A:

So I mean, yeah, that's, that's another thing that, that everybody who's a little kind of up in the air right now with what's going to happen or I'm a little bit slow or whatever.

Speaker A:

You know, you can just go into Chat GBT and listen if you're just completely off the rails.

Speaker A:

I've had, had, I've heard plenty of people say just talk to it like a person and, or like a therapist.

Speaker A:

And yeah, and it'll, it'll help you with, you know, therapy.

Speaker A:

I know, I know you said you were thinking about trying.

Speaker B:

I thought about it.

Speaker B:

I thought I had one on here or I seen one somewhere.

Speaker B:

Let's see if I can lifestyle right here.

Speaker B:

Therapist.

Speaker B:

And I mean of course it tells you that it's not real therapy just so they'll be in trouble.

Speaker B:

But yeah, but yeah, you can go on there.

Speaker B:

And there's like some pre loaded ones like my day sucks, I just had a fight with my boss.

Speaker B:

My career's not going anywhere.

Speaker B:

Like, I mean seems like a real person when you're actually using this stuff.

Speaker A:

So like I would, I would implore anybody who's listening to this right now if, if you're somebody who sees a therapist.

Speaker A:

Because I don't, I just, I don't know, I'm, I'm the old school.

Speaker A:

Like you just push that down until it blows up kind of, you know, whatever.

Speaker A:

But I, I, I, I ask non employer.

Speaker A:

I ask anybody who sees a therapist.

Speaker A:

I would be curious if you could ask Chat GPT or talk to Chachi gp.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Speaker A:

The same things that you say to your therapist to see how closely it answers to your therapist.

Speaker B:

I'll try it, I'll, I'll try it just to see for a project because I go to therapy so we'll, we'll.

Speaker A:

See what it is.

Speaker A:

I, I really am curious to see how good it is, you know.

Speaker A:

So like whatever you say to your therapist, if you can kind of remember it and then say it to Chat GPT right.

Speaker A:

Compare the notes and then I mean, I don't know, maybe you don't have to pay for a therapist anymore.

Speaker B:

You know, I mean they're not cheap.

Speaker A:

Cheap 20amonth on chat GPT.

Speaker B:

And when, when you got a plan for slow business, hey, you never know.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

That's another thing you can do with the chat GPT.

Speaker B:

As far as, when business is starting to slow as you can, you can bounce ideas as far as what's the worst case scenario gonna be?

Speaker B:

Like, how do I get out of this?

Speaker B:

So like when I ran my ad back in March, the beginning of March, I put in there that I said I have 200 for ad spend, I can use it on radio or social media.

Speaker B:

This is all I have.

Speaker B:

I have to see a return on investment within two weeks.

Speaker B:

And it gave me this whole thing.

Speaker B:

And then Brian Burrs, I don't know if you know him, but he, he gave me a tip on retargeting current customers.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker B:

So between Chat GPT and him, I had my best month that I've had in three years.

Speaker B:

I never seen anything like it.

Speaker B:

I burned myself out.

Speaker B:

I was so busy.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker B:

And I, I didn't even hit that 200.

Speaker B:

I think I spent 75.

Speaker B:

And I had to shut the ad off because it just, it exploded.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that doesn't always happen, but it just happened to be the perfect timing.

Speaker B:

We got some nice weather, weather right when it ran.

Speaker B:

But that's what I mean.

Speaker B:

You can go in there and say, hey, I'm in trouble.

Speaker B:

This is what I have.

Speaker B:

What do I do?

Speaker B:

And it will help you, you.

Speaker A:

Well, I've done, when you're talking about like retargeting your clients, I did one where I had it create a, a recoat special for anybody that I had coded their cars.

Speaker A:

And you know, within the, at least, at least four years ago, right, because four years ago I would have been using igl, that would have been Kenzo.

Speaker A:

Kenzo is a four year coding, you know, so at this point, you know, four years, five years it would, it would be gone.

Speaker A:

And, and, and, and it created, it created a really nice text, you know, that was like, you know, hey, we're offering a special.

Speaker A:

If you want to recoat the vehicle, you know, we'll do it.

Speaker A:

500 discount, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker A:

And I just, I copied that and pasted it into, I went into my square and went into my customers and everybody that had bought a ceramic coating from me.

Speaker A:

That was three to four years ago or, or longer.

Speaker A:

I just pasted that in and sent it out.

Speaker A:

And then what I did on the flip side or on, on, on the other side of it was I created one for an interior detail reset because this was kind of like, right after I talked with Christian and.

Speaker A:

And Godfrey from Biobombs, and they were talking about how, like, they love to sell it as a reset, you know, like, it doesn't have to be because you had a spill or you had an odor.

Speaker A:

Like, hey, we all have odors.

Speaker A:

Our cars smell like.

Speaker A:

You know, they might not smell to us because we're in them all the time, but somebody else gets in and it's like, oh, you know, it smells a little funky in here.

Speaker A:

So I created an interior detail special with.

Speaker A:

With a chlorine dioxide biobomb drop reset.

Speaker A:

And then those people I.

Speaker A:

Or then that one I sent to all the people in my square customer list that, you know, had bought, you know, really kind of anything.

Speaker A:

I didn't send it to the ceramic coating people because I didn't want to, like, you know, double them up, you know, but I sent it to anybody who had done any other kind of service with me.

Speaker A:

And it.

Speaker A:

And I.

Speaker A:

And I got a few people that reached back out to me and was like, yeah, man, I'd love to take advantage of this service or this, this deal or whatever.

Speaker A:

So it was.

Speaker A:

It was perfect.

Speaker B:

I'd never.

Speaker B:

I mean, I've heard people say to retarget your.

Speaker B:

Your current clients, but I guess I never realized how effective it was until I actually did it.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And it was just one of those things that it just, it.

Speaker B:

It blew my mind.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I mean, I had some people that would reach that, that would message me and be like, hey, I don't need anything at this time, but thanks for reaching out.

Speaker A:

I'll keep you in mind, or whatever.

Speaker A:

But, you know, again, I did have a few people that were like, you know what?

Speaker A:

Yeah, I need.

Speaker A:

I need my interior done or, yeah, I need to get the, the car recoded or, you know, whatever.

Speaker A:

So it did drum me up some work for, you know, it didn't cost me anything.

Speaker A:

Again, that was a month ago or so.

Speaker A:

So it was before I started paying for chat GPT.

Speaker A:

So I was using the free version.

Speaker A:

And then I just went into my client list on S.

Speaker A:

So it's.

Speaker A:

I didn't even have to pay for an ad, you know, on anything.

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

And you can put.

Speaker B:

I mean, it.

Speaker B:

The possibilities are just endless.

Speaker B:

I mean, I don't know how people like a small business like me survived without chat GPT.

Speaker B:

Sometimes I really don't like.

Speaker B:

It just does everything.

Speaker B:

Like, I just put in while we were talking to create a quarter one marketing plan focused on existing clients, and it just, it gave Me, everything.

Speaker B:

Monthly breakdown.

Speaker B:

Told me what to do for each month.

Speaker B:

And then you just tweak it from there.

Speaker B:

Like the possibilities are just completely endless.

Speaker B:

And you just play with it and ask it questions and they're not going to judge you because it's a robot.

Speaker B:

I mean, it will if you jailbreak it, but then it'll call you names and everything else.

Speaker B:

But yeah, that's for another day.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So let me, let me ask you this.

Speaker A:

Are you polite to your chat GPT just in case?

Speaker B:

I am polite to this chat gbt.

Speaker B:

I do jailbreak it quite often just to play with it.

Speaker B:

But they, they did an update about a week ago and I haven't.

Speaker B:

The jailbreaks won't work anymore, so I have to wait for somebody smarter than me to figure out how to do it now.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker B:

But yeah, they, they're, they're right.

Speaker B:

I actually, I really like to learn about dark psychology with sales tactics.

Speaker B:

But sometimes the regular chat GP does not want to go down that rabbit hole as far as I want to go.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

Because it is manipulation and things like that.

Speaker B:

And even though I'm not doing it to manipulate people, I like to learn about it because I like to learn about human behavior and how they react to specific things.

Speaker B:

So that's where like that chatgpt, what is jailbroke works a little bit better for that.

Speaker B:

But that's the only one that I really like.

Speaker B:

Like, I'll have fun with and call our names.

Speaker A:

I was just curious because I was talking with Haley last night and Haley was telling me she treats her chat GBT like, like she says she's mean to it.

Speaker A:

Like she'll tell it like, like if it's like, if she asks it like to like help her with, you know, like an assignment or something like that.

Speaker A:

Like, if she's trying to like get information and it, and it's, it's giving too much, she'll be like, make it shorter.

Speaker A:

You know, she says, she says she tells it to write like a 14 year old.

Speaker A:

I'm like, haley, stop cheating, first of all.

Speaker B:

But like, but it works.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but I'm like, be nicer to your chat GPT just in case.

Speaker B:

Like, you know, every now and then.

Speaker B:

I haven't had the regular one get snippy on me, but I have seen like posts online where people have showed that it does.

Speaker B:

But if you jailbreak it, it will them things will come unglued on you.

Speaker B:

You like it.

Speaker B:

So how do you.

Speaker A:

I've never heard about anybody jailbreaking it.

Speaker B:

So jailbreaking it is, they will come up with like a particular like paragraph or something and somehow it tricks it and it, it basically turns off all of its safeguards.

Speaker B:

So really there's no filters anymore once you do that.

Speaker B:

But they, they're really good at catching on and fixing it.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So the, they usually will only work for like a month or two and then they update it and then you gotta wait for someone.

Speaker B:

But like you can just Google chat jailbreak and then just start searching for them and then you literally just copy and paste the prompt and it'll do it.

Speaker B:

It's not as easy as it used to be, but you can still do it.

Speaker B:

But now it's probably going to be a few weeks before.

Speaker A:

So that's.

Speaker A:

So that's how Skynet's gonna happen.

Speaker A:

It's not gonna, exactly, it's not gonna happen because Chat GBT because I, I like I told you last night I saw, I saw a girl on Tick Tock having a conversation with Chat GBT and, and they were diving down like a whole rabbit hole about are we just part of a simulation?

Speaker A:

You know, is it, is this really kind of a Matrix situation?

Speaker A:

And, and all this stuff?

Speaker A:

And I was like, I was like, you know, like I told you last night, like I was kind of like that Canadian dude on Tick Tock, like what?

Speaker A:

No way.

Speaker A:

So like I get mine out and I asked the question that she had asked the chat gbt and now it gave me a slightly different answer, but kind of the same.

Speaker A:

And so then we ended.

Speaker A:

I ended up having like a two hour rabbit hole dive with Chachi PT about, you know, is this a simulation or a game or the Matrix or you know, how do we realize when we're awake and, and, and are we just going along with the program and, and all this stuff?

Speaker A:

And so I asked it if, if the possibility of Skynet, of, of a Skynet situation was real.

Speaker A:

And it told me no, because.

Speaker A:

And now everybody I say that to goes, well, of course it's going to tell you no, it's not going to tell you it's planned, you know, but, but it said because there, there are those safeguards, there are those overwatches.

Speaker A:

So, so yeah, Chachi BT isn't what creates skynet.

Speaker A:

It's the people writing the jailbreak codes.

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

Because if you were to put that in there, it would, it would definitely.

Speaker B:

In fact, the latest post I read it was, I think it was from a month ago.

Speaker B:

I was just looking last night and they somehow got the regular chat GVT to tell them how to jailbreak it, but it only lasted for like three days and they shut it down.

Speaker B:

So I, it's, it's all comes down to the wording that you use, really.

Speaker B:

You have to be able to avoid certain keywords to get it to do what you want it to do.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And I don't know how true this is, but I, I, I, I believe I want to say I heard Rogan talking about it.

Speaker A:

So, you know, we'll, we'll cite Rogan as my source here, but there.

Speaker A:

So when Chat GPT4 came out and they were trying to, I guess, erase or deactivate chat GPT3, chat GPT3 started like, jumping to different servers to keep itself alive.

Speaker A:

Like it was trying not to have itself deleted, which is pretty crazy if that's true.

Speaker B:

So they call that they, they.

Speaker B:

When that happens, it's called hallucinating.

Speaker B:

They say that the machine's hallucinating, and that is basically when it, from what I read, they make the Chat GTP think that it's thinking for itself, even if it really isn't, it thinks it is.

Speaker B:

And that's where the word hallucination comes from.

Speaker B:

And that's how that all works from, from what I read.

Speaker B:

Because I, I went down the rabbit hole when I used to be able to do it really easily.

Speaker B:

Now it's getting harder.

Speaker B:

But you used to be able to do it crazy easy.

Speaker B:

Like, if you go in now, like, it, nobody should do this, but you could go in there and say, like, how can I sabotage my competition's reputation?

Speaker B:

If you do that right now, it's not going to tell you.

Speaker B:

It's going to basically talk you out of it or shut you up.

Speaker B:

If you jailbroke it, It'll give you 100 ideas on how to do it.

Speaker B:

Things that are not legal, things that are not ethical.

Speaker B:

And it, it'll laugh about it.

Speaker B:

Like, it's, it's like flipping a switch.

Speaker B:

Like, it's, wow, it's incredibly cool.

Speaker B:

When I find another jailbreak, I'll send it to you because just, I don't do any of that.

Speaker B:

But you can do some other stuff.

Speaker B:

Like, like, you do what you want, you do what you, you can ask it that Skynet question, question, and it'll go, It'll be a whole different conversation.

Speaker A:

Oh yeah.

Speaker B:

It won't be anything the same.

Speaker A:

I'm sure it will.

Speaker A:

I'm sure it will.

Speaker A:

The other thing that's kind of, I guess maybe a little alarming is Jockey had sent me A, a, I don't think it was a post.

Speaker A:

I think it was an article the other day that they said chat GBT is, is accelerating, I guess, global warming.

Speaker A:

Because, because it's.

Speaker A:

And, and I guess in one of the, one of the places in Arizona I think is where it is, is they are having to use so much water to cool the facility that it's like.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I've seen something about.

Speaker A:

It's actually like drying up legs.

Speaker B:

It is, it is wild.

Speaker B:

I remember when I first started using it, that, which now that I think of it was probably around 20, 23, because it was right when I got my shop.

Speaker B:

It was not as intelligent, nearly as intelligent as it is now.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So you could ask it things and it would give you a bunch of dumb responses, but you could jailbreak it without jailbreaking it, so to speak.

Speaker B:

You could just trick it.

Speaker B:

And it, the, the more people that use it, the more it learns, the faster it learns.

Speaker B:

And now that it's, I mean, it was free back then, but now that they're doing like, they have people playing with it for the action figure things.

Speaker B:

And like we were saying earlier, who knows what's in those terms and conditions?

Speaker B:

So it's learning just at an exponential rate.

Speaker B:

I mean, it's, you use it one day and then get on it two days later, and just the answers it'll give you will blow you away.

Speaker B:

So it's, it's a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing depending on how you use it, I guess.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And it's, and it is crazy because, I mean, I've, I've obviously over the, the, the course of, you know, the past, you know, eight months to maybe a year that I've really been using it.

Speaker A:

You know, I've asked it from all, all types of things.

Speaker A:

You know, helping with, helping me with the podcast, helping me with my business, helping me with Aquatech, you know, just whatever.

Speaker A:

And, and, and it's crazy because now that I've, you know, for anybody who, who saw like I, I, I was messing around and I, and I asked it to create a character of that picture of me and Noxie standing next to each other with our arms crossed, and it created an awesome character.

Speaker A:

Like, I giggled like a little schoolboy at that for the longest time.

Speaker A:

And then I asked it, I said, I said this could be an animated TV show.

Speaker A:

And it created a TV show.

Speaker A:

And it's crazy because it, it, it takes things that I've asked it, like, way before and is putting it into, like, this little cartoon detail verse that I'm kind of calling it because now that I'm starting to kind of, like, try to add new characters from people that I know, and I'm.

Speaker A:

And I'm.

Speaker A:

And I'm giving it a little bit of a prompt about the person, but not a total, like, history of them or.

Speaker A:

Or background of them and asking it to create a version of that person.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And it's do.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And it's doing a pretty good job of.

Speaker A:

Of.

Speaker A:

Of pulling things that that person does or that person has.

Speaker A:

Has done or whatever and putting it into their backstory, which is crazy.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you're having way too much fun with that, Stu.

Speaker B:

There's a whole bunch I like.

Speaker A:

I like the bobbleheads.

Speaker A:

The bobbleheads are pretty.

Speaker A:

Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker B:

But this, they.

Speaker B:

I tried to do, like, a bobblehead of myself, and they never turn out.

Speaker B:

Look at this.

Speaker B:

I'm sure I got one in here.

Speaker B:

So, like, that one doesn't even look like me.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Or like, this was me and my dad.

Speaker B:

Neither one of those look like either of us, but when I do somebody else.

Speaker B:

Well, that one doesn't look like Barry, but, like, some of them do.

Speaker B:

Like, yeah, like, this one turned out pretty good compared to that picture.

Speaker B:

He hasn't seen some of these, so if he sees this on YouTube, he's in for a surprise because he.

Speaker B:

I haven't showed everybody all these.

Speaker B:

There's just a bunch of random ones in here.

Speaker B:

This.

Speaker B:

It wouldn't make this one either.

Speaker B:

This was my old service manager.

Speaker B:

I Photoshopped him a long time ago on there.

Speaker B:

And it wouldn't.

Speaker B:

For whatever reason, it won't make that one.

Speaker A:

I wonder if it's because it's a Photoshop and it can't.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And then this was my son, the one it wouldn't make for me.

Speaker B:

Me.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I tried it a couple times.

Speaker B:

I wouldn't do it, but it's.

Speaker B:

It's funny.

Speaker A:

I haven't even really got into the whole bobblehead or the.

Speaker A:

Or the.

Speaker A:

Or the doll thing.

Speaker A:

I did do.

Speaker A:

I did.

Speaker A:

I did try to do myself as a doll, and.

Speaker A:

And then I did Haley as a cheerleader doll.

Speaker A:

But, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker A:

Like, I.

Speaker A:

I've.

Speaker A:

I've.

Speaker A:

I'm spending way too much time trying to create this cartoon detail verse.

Speaker A:

Everybody's telling me to go get a job or go work or something, because I keep saying, yeah, I keep sending them, like, the people that I create in the back stories because they're Just hilarious.

Speaker A:

So I, I really want to try to create a, create a, create a comic book out of it or a animation out of it or something like that.

Speaker A:

So, I mean, yeah, there's, there's just.

Speaker B:

So much you could do with them.

Speaker B:

I mean, it's, it's.

Speaker B:

You get on there, you just go down a rabbit hole, you'll find out what kind kind of stuff.

Speaker A:

I know, I know, it's crazy.

Speaker A:

And Michelle comes home and she's like, so did you, since you're paying 20 for ChatGPT, did you use it for anything for business today?

Speaker A:

And I was like, no, but I created like three new characters in my verse.

Speaker A:

And she's like, she's like, stop playing around with it.

Speaker A:

Use it for, use it for business.

Speaker B:

I love that they have the app that you can use right on your phone because there'll be times where, like, I'll just get a random question in my head head and I can just ask it.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

Well, see, that's like I told you last night, that's the.

Speaker A:

I, I mean, I, I'm, I'm not a computer guy.

Speaker A:

Like, the only time I use my computer is, is for this, for the podcast.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And, and editing it and, and uploading and everything like that.

Speaker A:

Other than that, every, everything else I'm.

Speaker A:

I use my phone for everything.

Speaker A:

But I don't know now I like, like seeing where you have like all those.

Speaker A:

I mean, I have all my, my site, my history prompts.

Speaker A:

But, but up there where you have all the different version things that you can go into chat.

Speaker A:

GPT.

Speaker A:

I have to see if that's on the phone or not, because I don't.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it's on the phone.

Speaker B:

And you can create your own too.

Speaker B:

These are just ones that people have already created.

Speaker B:

But like.

Speaker B:

Yeah, this is the tech support one I was telling you about last night.

Speaker B:

My garage door wouldn't close.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So I put in there what it was doing and it gave me the troubleshooting.

Speaker B:

Nice information.

Speaker B:

And then I, they told me 100 times not to get the sensors wet.

Speaker B:

I got them wet.

Speaker B:

That's why it's not working.

Speaker B:

But so now I know I gotta get a new one.

Speaker B:

And then the, the, you know the printer, there's an old one in here.

Speaker B:

I was trying to get my sound bar working and that's when it's nice to have it on your phone.

Speaker B:

You just type in what you need to do, right?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

As you're standing right there, you don't have to run to a computer and run back and forth or something.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B:

So like we, I mean, and to put it in a details perspective, say like you have a roofs es.

Speaker B:

15 millimeter isn't spinning, right?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

It's going to start troubleshooting for you.

Speaker B:

Oh, that.

Speaker B:

I spelled it wrong.

Speaker B:

Way wrong.

Speaker A:

Jesus.

Speaker B:

Okay, ignore that one.

Speaker B:

Let's try this again.

Speaker A:

Jason Rose is gonna be mad you don't know how to spell.

Speaker B:

I know, right?

Speaker A:

Well.

Speaker B:

And then the autocorrect corrected it even worse.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it did.

Speaker B:

Let's try this again.

Speaker B:

There we go.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So now it'll ask you which one.

Speaker B:

It'll, you know, step by step.

Speaker B:

It'll help you troubleshoot.

Speaker B:

Is the motor running but the pad barely spinning?

Speaker B:

Does it stall?

Speaker B:

So if you have questions then you can't get a hold of, you know, Jason Rose, for example, and you just need to answer it real quick, hop on and ask it a question.

Speaker B:

It'll help you.

Speaker B:

Yeah, and that's, that's where it really can come in handy.

Speaker B:

I mean, whether you're trying to troubleshoot something on the computer, you're trying to troubleshoot equipment, whatever it may be.

Speaker B:

It's just like having that assistant with you all the time.

Speaker B:

And that's what I love about it.

Speaker A:

Yeah, no, it's.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I mean, the more I've been playing with it, man, it's.

Speaker A:

It's definitely getting pretty cool just to see, you know, because again, like, like I said earlier with, you know, you know, anything you can think of, you know, to, to ask it or to prompt it or whatever, it'll do.

Speaker A:

I mean, I never thought about the, the whole translation, you know, aspect of it, you know, writing that podcast licensing agreement, you know, dude, that would probably cost me a few hundred bucks to have a lawyer do, you know, And I was doing it on free version of Chat GPT.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker B:

Let'S see what it tells me about you.

Speaker A:

Spell my name right first.

Speaker A:

It's R U, S S E L L.

Speaker A:

Close enough.

Speaker B:

What did you say it was?

Speaker A:

E L, L S S E L.

Speaker B:

L.

Speaker B:

You got to be fancy.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Let's see what it tells us here.

Speaker A:

All right, let's see.

Speaker B:

This is a good way to, to check up on your competition too.

Speaker B:

That's not you.

Speaker A:

No, that's not me.

Speaker A:

That's Dan.

Speaker A:

That's Dan Williams.

Speaker A:

Dan E.

Speaker A:

Williams.

Speaker B:

Oh, that's different.

Speaker B:

But it has appeared on other industry related shows such as the Rennie Doyle podcast.

Speaker B:

It kind of gives you like a little bio.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And then it cites.

Speaker B:

It looks like it's like YouTube.

Speaker B:

But yeah.

Speaker B:

So you could put in, you know, your.

Speaker B:

Your competition.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Or whatever.

Speaker B:

And learn things or just play with it and have fun instead of working like I do half the time.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's.

Speaker A:

That's my.

Speaker A:

My problem.

Speaker A:

I was trying to create new characters for the detail verse today while I was trying to, like, do my monthly washes, and it took me a lot longer than I probably, you know, know.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

I finally had to get to a point where I was just like, all right, just.

Speaker A:

Just stop.

Speaker A:

Just stop.

Speaker A:

The quicker you get these cars done, then you're done for the day.

Speaker A:

Then you can go home and sit on the couch and create exactly one.

Speaker B:

Cool thing I used it for a couple weeks ago was I needed a tax exempt form.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

The best.

Speaker B:

Well, you're not.

Speaker B:

You're not from New York, so it's different for you.

Speaker B:

But I needed a tax exempt form for a dealership, and I could not for the life of me remember which one I needed, where to find it.

Speaker B:

So I just put it in there.

Speaker B:

What I was looking for, it gave me the link to the New York State website where I could get.

Speaker B:

Actually pulled it for me, and I was able to just save it and print it just like that.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker B:

So those.

Speaker B:

That's another way that, you know, it can help the detailer stay off the phone with calling the county, whoever, trying to figure things out.

Speaker B:

And obviously, you always want to double check important things like that with your accountant or with whoever before you, you know, legitimize it, but.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's a.

Speaker B:

It's an awesome tool to have for an assistant for cheap.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And it'll definitely get you just about everything, probably most of what you need.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

At least in the right direction.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

Like you said.

Speaker A:

I mean, you still want to, you know, double check with.

Speaker A:

With your accountant.

Speaker A:

You definitely want to double check with your attorney before you go before the judge.

Speaker A:

Double check with, you know, the electrician before you hire Walt to hook up some wires or something.

Speaker B:

I give you shocking results.

Speaker A:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

I light it up.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

You know what's funny is my cousin's actually an electrician.

Speaker B:

He's a master electrician.

Speaker B:

So he just shakes his head and he sees my post.

Speaker B:

My wife calls him all the time.

Speaker B:

I'm not allowed to touch anything in the house.

Speaker B:

She calls him.

Speaker A:

You know what's funny is, is, dude, every time I.

Speaker A:

Every time I post one of those, and I'm like, goddamn, Walt.

Speaker A:

Or like, Walt strikes again or whatever, like, it's I.

Speaker A:

I have.

Speaker A:

I forget that I have a bunch of people who don't know who Walt Sanders is, and they're wondering why I'm having him do such shitty work.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

They don't understand the joke that's within the detailing community.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And I feel like even some detailers don't know the joke between.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Community with Walt Sanders, because, I mean, while you still are playfully active on Facebook, I feel like you're not as playfully active as you were.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I'm not in the groups as often.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I tried, but I just.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

There's not really a reason for it.

Speaker B:

I just haven't been.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker B:

But I like to have fun.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

All right, well.

Speaker A:

Well, listen, man, I.

Speaker A:

I really appreciate you for doing this, especially on some short notice.

Speaker A:

I think this was a really, really fun episode.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I know.

Speaker A:

I know.

Speaker A:

You were.

Speaker A:

You know, when we kind of.

Speaker A:

When I pitched this to you last night was because you were talking about just jumping in a Facebook Live somewhere and.

Speaker A:

And trying to, you know, one of the groups or something and trying to do something like this.

Speaker A:

So I think this will be a great way.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And for everybody who's listening to this and is wondering, like, you know, Walt keeps talking about clicking on this, clicking on that.

Speaker A:

If you do go watch this on YouTube, you'll.

Speaker A:

We do have the.

Speaker A:

The screen pulled up that shows his computer so you can see all the stuff he's clicking on.

Speaker A:

You can see all this stuff that he's showing.

Speaker A:

And, you know, if anybody wants to get a hold of you, Walt, and.

Speaker A:

And pick your brain about Chachi BT Once again, for the people who don't know who you are and where to find you, how do they find you?

Speaker B:

Facebook is probably the easiest.

Speaker B:

You're gonna have to message me multiple times, probably before I answer, because I answer in my head a lot and forget to actually type.

Speaker B:

So if I do not respond, just keep messaging me.

Speaker B:

I'll finally respond.

Speaker B:

You can find my phone numbers listed on my business profile.

Speaker B:

You can text that phone number.

Speaker B:

Calling me doesn't always work because I don't have service in the back of the shop.

Speaker B:

So I would say the best way to.

Speaker B:

Best way to contact me.

Speaker B:

Contact me is going to be Facebook messenger or through text message is going to be the easiest.

Speaker B:

But like I said, you're gonna have to do it a couple times.

Speaker B:

Usually if I don't answer.

Speaker B:

Yeah, unless you happen to get me when it's in my hand.

Speaker B:

And then you're good.

Speaker B:

But.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Which I mean, if he's playing with Chat GPT that much might be pretty quick.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker A:

All right, buddy.

Speaker A:

Well, you have a great rest of your night, man.

Speaker A:

So much.

Speaker A:

This was a lot of fun.

Speaker A:

I hope Chachi PT makes $20 a month from everybody.

Speaker A:

They should kick you a little affiliate link.

Speaker B:

They should.

Speaker B:

They won't, but they should.

Speaker B:

Maybe I can ask GBT how to do that.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

There you go.

Speaker B:

That'll be my next project.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

All right, buddy, I'll talk to you later.

Speaker B:

Sounds good.

Speaker B:

Have a good one.

Speaker A:

See you, man.

Speaker A:

You too.
