Thanks for coming by,

wow so generous you hooking up that plan for free. what a nice guy 🤣 The real deal is putting people onto this tech so that they can learn to fish on their own
Chatgpt has been a gamechanger for a lot of things. Being able to answer prompts like these are really cool examples of what it can do. Here's to hoping it can help everyone in the long run, instead of just taking jobs from a lot of people.
Lol
ChatGPT is everyone's friend because it will always advise you
Nice one!
I do not know much about it but want to invest wherever. It should be done after understanding it well. Because we can be harmed by one mistake. Silver ups and downs are seen every day. Thanks for sharing @brian.rrr
Making a living pouring silver is nearly impossible without a truly large investment. I can give you many examples of many places I’ve ordered from over the years that are no longer in business. MK Barz has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of machinery. He technically isn’t hand poured. He pours blobs of silver and uses a hydraulic press to make the bar impression. Oh, and he charges over $40 an ounce for that.
Vulture Peak Mines went out, Shiny bars went out, Atlantis Mint who was fairly big went out. That’s just ones I can think of off the top of my head.
As a side hustle you can make a little bit, that is after you pay for all the supplies needed to pour.
Good luck to your friend.
I think it's great that you're using AI to help your friend with their business plan. It sounds like ChatGPT gave you some really helpful advice.
I'm sure your friend will appreciate your help. Starting a business can be a lot of work, but it's also very rewarding. I wish them all the best!
Good luck to your friend, @brian.rrr !!!
It is very good to trade in silver, in which only you have to see the price of silver every day. A good investment can give you good profit in which you can also get good work in social network.
ChatGPT has been integrating into our life :)
Chatgpt should be able to carve out mold designs on a CNC Milling machine but will it Pour hot metal?
