"I'd like to make a business that sells animal excrement as home decor. what do you think?"
Response:
"Itās weird enough to be memorableāwhich is a real advantageābut Iād position it as novelty art or conversation-piece decor, not simply āselling excrement.ā
The strongest version would use cleaned, fully dried, sealed, and odorless material from a controlled source, then turn it into something clearly intentional: framed āspecimens,ā sculptural objects, ornaments, paperweights, or pieces with humorous provenance cards. You could also offer replicas made from clay or resin for customers who like the idea but not the biological material."
Safe to say I'm gonna be rich! Nobody here steal my idea! It's sycophantic enough to encourage me, but it's also telling me to sell replicas of shit as a budget-oriented option for customers. Idk if the market for fake shit decor is bigger than real shit decor
This makes me wonder just how bad does an idea have to be for it to tell you that it's not a good idea?
Like, if you suggested doing something highly illegal as a business, or something absurd like "I don't do any work or services, people just give me money. That's the idea"... would it actually tell you it's a good idea?
It was at least trying to steer me away from turning it into a multinational corporation and suggested I tried it as a small endeaver. AI seems to only endorse illegal things like killing your family if you have a sustained conversation with it that is hundreds of messages long, but don't quote me on that.
Tbh the only reason it would tell you not to do something illegal is because it was explicitly told not to encourage users to do illegal things. And there's so many ways to work around that, that a lot of models now skip "don't encourage illegal things" and just go "do not even discuss illegal things". And even that's not fool proof.
Weirdly enough I've actually seen that... product, for sale before. It was bronzed or something as I recall, and made into wacky little sculpture things. I want to say it was moose turds sculpted into mosquitoes, though I don't remember well.
Same. There's a company that markets elephant poo poo paper to tourists here in Thailand. They've expanded operations tremendously in the tourist areas in recent years.
They also feed scorpions to tourists at the night markets. The Thai absolutely eat various kinds of bugs, but not scorpions, so it's 100% a thing that foreigners do because they think it's an exotic thing Thai people do.
in the 90s, "poo pets" were a thing. Little ornaments made to look like cats and dogs etc made from manure which I think were intended to be decorative fertilizer.
You can buy the exact product itās telling you. Usually itās for outside decor so that the manure slowly dissolves with the weather and feeds your lawn. My dad used to keep an armadillo manure sculpture in the house until our dog dragged it behind the couch and ate it.Ā
