A Reddit post has gone viral after a user shared his honest conversation with ChatGPT, where he asked whether he should quit his job to pursue a new business idea.
The user, named Simon, told the AI, “I’m going to quit my job to pursue this,” referring to a business plan he wanted to closely work on.
Simon revealed his business idea on his chat and wrote, "You know how some people have lids that don’t have jars that fit them? What if we looked for people with jars that fit those lids. I think this would be very lucrative.”
ChatGPT didn’t laugh or shut him down. Instead, it called the idea “fascinating” and “kind of brilliant in a poetic way,” trying to make sense of the quirky concept and offer support.
