Episode 46 - I, Robot Writer

Does Tyler actually pitch an idea to use AI to write books or does he have a crisis of conscience? How often do you use Chat-GPT? Do you read physical books or listen to audio books? Will AI be a benefit or detriment to humanity's future?

Jon pitches an idea to get rich by printing money. No, it's not what you think, no counterfeiting involved, but 3D printing things to sell.

Jon wonders if money really can grow on trees and Tyler believes in Jon’s horticultural experience. Is the next nursery they need to build going to be one for plants?

Tyler thinks it’s time to read the tea leaves, or at least try to sell some. Jon is familiar with yaupon, a native caffeine rich plant and thinks leaning into his ancestry might be a selling point.

Tyler tries to convince Jon of an old idea to rent chairs and tables for weddings. How many butts does it take to make bank? Can they strike it rich on someone else's vows? Do you know anyone who is getting married?
