As a joke, I wrote "Give me a disruptive startup idea". This is what claude wrote:

  Here is a potentially disruptive startup idea:

  • On-demand drone delivery for e-commerce. The idea is to offer ultra fast delivery of small packages via drones. This could significantly reduce delivery times for e-commerce orders and disrupt the traditional shipping industry. Some key challenges to overcome would be regulatory approvals, safety, noise pollution, and scaling up a drone delivery network. But if executed well, it could transform how people receive goods and packages.

  A few other disruptive ideas:

  • An Uber-like model for renting out spare rooms or couches for short term stays. This could disrupt the hotel industry. 

  • A Netflix model for streaming live TV channels over the internet. This could disrupt the cable TV industry.
  
  • An automated vertical farming system to grow organic food locally in urban areas. This could disrupt the traditional agriculture and food supply chain.

  • Decentralized blockchain-based social network. The idea is to build a social network that is not owned or controlled by any single company. It would be an open, decentralized platform built on blockchain technology. Users would have more control and ownership over their data and profiles. The business model could be built around micro-payments or subscriptions. It could disrupt the dominance of companies like Facebook and offer an alternative distributed social networking experience

  • A virtual reality social network. If VR/AR technologies become more mainstream,

I mean, they are disruptive startup ideas, sure enough. GPT-4 didn't bother answering.

Honestly, a real sign of intelligence :D

I remember some people from Vooza pitching "Tinder for Drones" during a conference 10 years or so ago!

(Truly disruptive if we manage to turn Universal Paperclips into reality.)

Here's gpt4, it's formatting is better but this is the text. Though this isn't really the right way to use it, single responses miss a large amount of the potential imo.

In other words, GPT-4

[ImaCake]

I get this is in jest, but I think the actual solution is to use image classification with a framework of normal code to glue it together. GPT-4 could help you code it…

What do you mean by GPT4 didn’t bother responding. It has better ideas that this when I just asked it. This is generic af. Are you a Claude shill or something.
