Something I feel isn't highlighted enough is that the responses here are incredibly high level, even after prompting for specificity. Some of it is because chatgpt isn't connected to the net so can't say "hey try talking to Bob".
It also relies very heavily on the individual taking initiative and asking questions and *wanting* to start a business, which if it were the case these steps wouldn't be the blocking constraint. This is my conjecture though from generally seeing enormous numbers of people dismiss starting a company with "I don't have a good enough idea", which is code for "I don't wanna for various reasons."
I'm incredibly curious though how this works in your class setting. In that arena it could very well be extremely useful, if only because it takes away the middle-part tedium which kills far too many efforts.
Perhaps I should have highlighted this more. You are right, ChatGPT will not give you the impetus to become a founder but, to misuse Eliot, "between the idea and the reality falls the shadow" - there are lots of stopping points that prevent people who are interested from progressing further.
I find that even lightweight guidance and support can get people over barriers to entrepreneurship. And the more tools the better. I have had over a hundred thousand people take my various online classes, and those are fairly high-level as well, but can often serve as the push or framework people need. I view ChatGPT as providing a new category of tool.
You're totally right. I asked ChatGPT about opening a coffee shop that only served black coffee as a joke and realized in the process it really could be helpful in this way.
There's a great coffee place that does only that in Chiang Mai. Not a joke, the variations it has on black coffee are amazing. Try a Black Orange, or Coffee Mojito Soda
Love this. Just sent it to two entrepreneurs in my life, including one who already started using ChatGPT to build his vision of an online mathematical card game.

Yup, very good point, and the alpha in removing friction is quite high, as we've seen with the internet
