My Friend Got Scammed $27,000 Thanks To Chat GPT-4

Be careful out there people!

Just got a call from a close friend at a well-known digital company in South Sudan whose just been scammed out of $27,000 by some 'indiehacker' (turns out he's just a bricklayer!) who built an application in one hour using Chat GPT and sold him the shoddy results.

for those not in the know (god forbid people think it's real!), this is a joke referencing this post - https://www.indiehackers.com/post/how-i-made-10k-in-an-hour-using-ai-9043c55ae5
