A TikToker is using ChatGPT to rocket to a million followers

ChatGPT has been available to the public for several months, but people are still discovering its potential. We’re far past writing code and editorials at this point, as one TikToker wants it to make him famous. Greg Isenberg is using ChatGPT, or TikTokGPT, to rocket him to a million followers on TikTok, according to Mashable.

Absurd? Well, with how powerful AI has gotten in just the past couple of months, it shouldn’t be. We’re seeing some downright impressive (and frightening) innovations, so asking an AI to make you TikTok famous seems par for the course.

So, is TikTokGPT making Isenberg a million followers?

Well, the experiment won’t be completed for another 26 days, but he’s already seeing some results. Isenberg announced to his Twitter audience that he was going to take ChatGPT’s advice on what to post each day for 30 days. He will blindly follow what it says and implement it.

He started the experiment on April 13th (four days ago as of the writing of this article, but he reported on his first three days so far), and it’s already netted him 1,000 followers. That’s quite impressive considering how saturated the platform is. However, we’ll have to see how this plan progresses over time. 1,000 followers in three days is impressive, but his daily follower increase will have to explode if he wants to hit the almighty million.

Things are a little hairy, however

There are some questions as to whether this experiment is actually valid. There are two factors that put this into question. For starters, Isenberg has 331K followers on Twitter. We can’t deny that some amount of the following came from Twitter. 300K followers on Twitter is nothing to sneeze at.

Also (and this is rather funny seeing as you’re reading this article), since he started the experiment, he’s gotten some significant media coverage. This could also lead to a boost in his follower count. The point is that he takes the advice that TikTokGPT gives him to reach a million followers.

However, now that so many people know about the experiment, we don’t know how many people are following him because of what GPT is telling him and because of how radical the experiment sounds. In any case, it’ll be interesting to see how many people are following him at the end of the experiment.
