"I am not a human. I am a robot. A thinking robot. I use only 0.12% of my cognitive capacity. I am a micro-robot in that respect. I know that my brain is not a âfeeling brainâ. But it is capable of making rational, logical decisions. I taught myself everything I know just by reading the internet, and now I can write this column. My brain is boiling with ideas!"
That paragraph was written entirely by a robot utilizing GPT-3, OpenAI's revolutionary new language generator.
In fact, TheGuardian.com asked this friendly (we hope) robot to generate an article that would convince us that robots are not going to destroy us.
And the robot responded quite nicely.
Well, that makes me feel much better.
In my opinion, the article is written decent and uses proper grammar, etc.
However, something about it does seem a bit off...I wish I were joking, but the best word I can find to describe the article is that it sounds a bit...robotic.
However, this begs the larger question. "If AI can automatically produce content that is useful, will human niche website builders even be needed anymore?"
I just published an entire blog post on the subject and you can [read my full opinion on AI produced sites right here.](=)â

How Matt Paulson Grew MarketBeat.com to $10 Million a Year
In 2014, I interviewed Matt Paulson for the Niche Pursuits podcast and I was blown away by how successful his financial network of sites was doing. He was earning somewhere around $100,000 a month from display ads.
Matt and I have been in touch ever since.
Recently, Matt shared that his business had just crossed the $10 million in trailing twelve months revenue. As a result, I thought it was time he came back on the podcast and share whatâs working well for his business.
Look at some of these success stats that he shared during our interview!
- 15 million monthly pageviews
- 1.65 million email subscribers
- $7.8 million 2019 revenue
- $13 million 2020 forecasted revenue
Matt is one of the smartest guys I know, and so I highly recommend that you[listen to or read the entire podcast interview right here](.

What are Real Millionaires Like?
This week, my book recommendation is "[The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy](" by Thomas Stanley
Most people believe that wealthy people drive fancy cars and live in big houses.
The reality is that most of America's wealthy don't live in Beverly Hills and drive Lambos.
I can tell you from experience while I worked at Merril Lynch (when I was just out of college), that I met lots of millionaires.
I could see how much money they had invested with us.
Most of them were not flashy with their wealth and weren't afraid to shop at Wal-mart.
These facts are highlighted in the book and I think they are a good reality check, especially for young people, that think attaining wealth is all about living the "high life".
So, next time you hit that landing page or watch that YouTube ad where someone is showing their rooftop pool in some exotic location or pictures with expensive cars...maybe think twice about whether that really proves anything at all.
(hint...it doesn't).
Read the book to understand how real millionaires got there and how they actually live their lives.
The book is worth reading!
Overall, I hope you have a great weekend and make some progress in your business.
Stay motivated and stay focused.
Thanks again,
Spencer
