      <description>&lt;p&gt;It's 2025.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Everyone has a ChatGPT tab open and says the same thing:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m going to generate passive income using AI.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These people usually:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Panic when they open Excel,
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Get stressed downloading a font on Canva,
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;But fully believe that “if I get ChatGPT to write me an e-book, the dollars will rain down.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This post is a lighthearted portrait of the new generation of “entrepreneurs” who see AI as a magic wand.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;The plan is simple:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ask ChatGPT to write a book.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use Midjourney to create the cover.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Convert it to PDF for free.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tweet: “Just made passive income in 30 mins 😎”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But there’s a problem:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The book is called &lt;em&gt;“The 7 Golden Rules of Getting Rich”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
and Rule #1 is: “Work hard.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is where the dream ends.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;The new trend: selling prompts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But their best-selling prompt is:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Give me 10 business ideas that will make me rich.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then they try to sell that same prompt…&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
to people who also asked GPT for business ideas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyone is selling prompts…&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
written by GPT…&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
to each other…&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
and no one's buying.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the circle of passive confusion.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;One Midjourney invite = 300 people suddenly launching clothing brands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The usual designs:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A cat eating ramen on the moon
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A retro sunflower with sunglasses
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A samurai riding a goldfish&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looks cool.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But nobody buys them—&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Because everyone’s a seller, no one’s a buyer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s basically Etsy but with AI cosplay.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;The millionaire mindset in 2025:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy prompt
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste into ChatGPT
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Say “I’ll launch it tomorrow”
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take a nap
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wait
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take another nap&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s no longer passive income —&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It’s &lt;em&gt;passive hope&lt;/em&gt; with fancy branding.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;AI is incredible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But bad news for those who want to get rich doing absolutely nothing:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;ChatGPT is a powerful assistant. But you're still supposed to be the boss.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Right now, 100 people are writing the same e-book using the same prompt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Everyone’s designing the same “viral” t-shirts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
And then they say:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Didn’t sell… but I’m early in the AI era.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Early… and laying down.&lt;/p&gt;
