How to choose the title of your next Indie Hackers blogpost [Powered by OpenAI GPT-3 🤖]

I took the first top 10 blogposts of Indie Hackers ("popular / all-time") with upvotes and comments, and I used the "davinci" OpenAI GPT-3 algorithm to generate other potential "viral" titles.

The algorithm returned an estimation on how they would perform if used and a final comment on the indie hacker community (I didn't ask for it).

Who wants to post one of these titles to see if the prediction is right? 😛
If you do, make sure to tag the post as OpenAI generated content!

1) First I needed to explain the context

The following are titles of the top blogposts in a community called Indie Hackers. Upvotes number measures how much people liked the blogpost.
Comments are actually thoughts by members from the community.

2) Second I gave the AI some samples of good titles with upvotes and comments numbers

  1. Why I Quit Google to Work for Myself / 381 upvotes / 109 comments
  2. I'm offering free feedback for your website/landing page (keep 'em coming!) / 52 upvotes / 396 comments
  3. Hacking Twitter - Let's follow each other / 74 / 356 comments
  4. How to brainstorm great business ideas / 420 upvotes / 38 comments

  9. Let Us Guess What Your Business Does by Your Name Only!? / 37 upvotes / 299 comments
  10. Pitch your business idea in 10 words or fewer / 45 upvotes / 272 comments

  10. Give me a link to your product and I'll make a video unboxing it for you / 50 upvotes / 130 comments

4) I didn't ask for it, but the AI at the end of the execution commented the work done...

It's evident that people like to read about improving their product, getting funding, naming a business and how to market it. So we should try to talk about these topics in our blogpost.
Let's do it!
