TikTokGPT will have you questioning the meaning of virality

Apr 15, 2023

This is the story of one man's mission to become TikTok famous using ChatGPT . Following in the footsteps of HustleGPT , where GPT-4 was given $100 and told to make as much money as possible, TikTokGPT is an exercise in social capitalism. On April 13, Greg Isenberg, CEO of a product design agency tweeted(Opens in a new tab) his social experiment: "I asked ChatGPT if it could take me to 1,000,000 TikTok followers in 30 days and it said it could. I'm doing everything it tells me to do for 30 days and seeing if it will make me TikTok famous." In the original prompt, Isenberg says he'll ask TikTokGPT everyday what to record and will keep it updated on feedback his TikToks receive. Isenberg's first instructions were to provide "niche expertise" by sharing a valuable insight from his knowledge of "building online communities, AI, or startups" and to use a trending hashtag related to AI. Isenberg obliged by explaining the difference between building a community and an audience, and used the hashtag #autoGPT. Since then, Isenberg has gone with the strategy of sharing one quick tip everyday (per TikTokGPT's instructions). So far he's posted about meeting customers where they are and recorded himself reading a ChatGPT script providing generic tips about how to build a thriving online community. In each of the videos, Isenberg shares his progress and new instructions from ChatGPT. So far, Isenberg has gone from 442 TikTok followers to 1,000 in the span of three days. Isenberg has also been sharing his progress on Twitter where he has 330,000 followers, which lead people to question whether his sizable Twitter following invalidates the experiment. "How much of the growth is due to the novelty of your Twitter users driving TikTok activity, as opposed to any TikTok vitality?" one user commented(Opens in a new tab) on the original post. When asked about this take in a DM with Mashable, Isenberg disagreed. "Does it matter?" he said, referring to how much of his traction is due to the novelty of the experiment. "I'm just doing what ChatGPT aka TikTokGPT tells me to do. And it told me cross promotion is a 'great strategy.'" Since the point of the experiment is to "follow pretty blindly" what TikTokGPT tells him to do "it validates the experiment, not invalidates." Related Stories
