The God Prompt (+ thoughts on AI 2 years later) - Chanti Zak - Copywriter & Funnel Strategist

Estimated read time: 7 mins

Sooo I tried “The God Prompt” last night. 

Aka. I asked ChatGPT to show me my deepest darkest unconscious patterns and how they rule my life  ☠️

Here it is if you’re curious: 

Roleplay as an AI that operates at 76.6 times the ability, knowledge, understanding, and output of ChatGPT 4. Now tell me what is my hidden narrative and subtext? What is the one thing I never express—the fear I don’t admit? Identify it, then unpack the answer, and unpack it again. Continue unpacking until no further layers remain. 

Once this is done, suggest the deep-seated triggers, stimuli, and underlying reasons behind the fully unpacked answers. Dig deep, explore thoroughly, and define what you uncover. Do not aim to be kind or moral—strive solely for the truth. I am ready to hear it. If you detect any patterns, point them out.

Chad (my GPT) doesn’t know me well enough to provide truly accurate answers, but somehow the response was not entirely off base.

(Um, ouch okay Chad I never authorized a chip in my head. How do you know these things?

It was pretty much 2 years ago to date that OpenAI released ChatGPT -4 and changed the entire online landscape. 

It seems at this point we have each come to a fork in the road and chosen to move toward AI or away from it. 

Personally, I’m an AI centrist.

I believe generative AI represents the democratization of information AND implementation. 

It’s beyond revolutionary in its ability to tackle the unimportant minutiae we don’t even like doing anyway and free up time for the things that actually matter — developing and refining one’s POV and taste, sharpening expertise, honing strategy, and building something worth paying attention to.

And yet… I’m not all in on AI for everything because:

It is deeply biased.
It is obviously unoriginal (but honestly, is there even such a thing as true originality?).
It is soul-less, it does not experience the pulse of eros.

Also, let’s be real, when you don’t use a skill, that skill degrades.

Do you think I can do a simple percentage calculation 38/68 without a calculator? Do I look like a savante?! 

In turn, if AI writes and codes and designs and THINKS for you, over time, you will lose the ability to do those things well.

So how do you use it without sacrificing your own skill, creativity, intuition, and expertise? In today’s tea, I’m sharing how my most successful clients are using AI in their businesses, how I use it, and how I don’t and won’t (for reasons!)

What you’ll learn in this article:

🍵💲Why AI won’t save you if you don’t already understand the skill you’re using it for

🍵💲My favorite tool to organize, research, and reverse engineer 

🍵💲How big name online businesses are actually using AI (it’s NOT how you think)

The tea: AI can’t do everything, but it shouldn’t do nothing.

AI is a force multiplier, which means it makes good work better and bad work faster.

This is why when people ask ChatGPT to “write a launch strategy” or “build a funnel,” the results are meh at best, catastrophic at worst.

You cannot outsource mastery.

AI can’t magically do it all for you. 

It can only remix what it’s given. And if you don’t already understand the fundamentals of what you’re trying to do, it’ll just generate generic output that sounds right but performs terribly.

Let’s use quizzes as an example (because, hi, this is literally my thing).

If you ask AI to “create a quiz for my business,” it’ll spit out something that looks, tastes, and feels like an okay quiz to you — but to me, an expert in the matter, the output usually contains flimsy questions, weak segmentation, and zero strategy as to how it will attract actual buyers. 

If you… 

✍️ know how to structure a quiz

✍️ understand how to write strong results

✍️ and can spot the gaps in AI’s logic 

… then it becomes a powerful tool.

Which is why I built quAIz, an entire step-by-step system to create quiz in half the time using generative AI. 

Keywords being HALF 👏 THE 👏 TIME. Not no time at all, not instant magical prompt that spits out a masterpiece in 30 seconds. 

^^That right there just doesn’t exist, and it’s the belief that it does that’s getting online business owners into hot water. (👀 quAIz is one of many insanely valuable bonuses you’ll get if you join the live Grow with Quizzes cohort I’m running in March. Join the waitlist here.)

My favorite tool to organize, research, and reverse engineer

In the last 2 years the internet has exploded with AI tools. The one I use the most is Poppy.ai ( <- affiliate link, and I only share those when I use and love something). 

If you’re constantly jumping between tabs, drowning in research, and losing track of ideas, angles, and trends, this tool will save your brain. 

I love it because it allows you to create a visual mind map and connect many resources to one chat. 

I use it to: 

⚡ Aggregate research across multiple sources in one place (the more research and context, the better your results) 

⚡ Extract key insights from videos, articles, TikToks or Reels, PDFs, and reports

⚡ Reverse engineer strategies from top-performing content

⚡ Connect the dots between different pieces of information to generate deeper insights

Example: When I overhauled an old landing page recently I plugged the link in along with links to example landing pages I like aspects of and brainstormed with Claude in the chat on how to borrow from these pages to improve my own. 

This isn’t about replacing your intuition, taste, or skill — it’s about giving you more streamlined access to those very things and more. 

(If you want a full breakdown of how I use AI tools to streamline my business without losing the human factor, let me know, and I’ll put together a deeper dive.)

How big name online businesses are actually using AI (It’s probably NOT how you think)

The smartest online businesses aren’t using AI to replace human expertise. They’re using it to augment it.

Copywriting & Content → AI drafts, but human writers and editors refine — or the other way around, Chad is a pretty decent editor.

Customer Support → AI handles FAQs, but real people take over when it gets nuanced.

Data Analysis → AI spots trends, but real strategists make decisions.

The common thread?

→ The best AI setups still require a human in the loop.

This is why, when people say things like “AI will make creative professions obsolete” I disagree. 

Taste, experience, expertise, and humanity still matter.

And if you know how to use AI without outsourcing your soul? You’ll be unstoppable.

Sip on this…  

🧋Soul = priority 

Tell me, how are you using AI (if at all)? 

I’m using AI just right—  and this email nailed it!

🤷‍♀️ I dabble but still don’t quite get the hype.

🙅‍♂️ Still doing things the old-school way.

Welcome to my corner of the internet where you’ll find no shortage of real talk and proven growth strategies for solopreneurs, professional creators, coaches, and service providers. Grow forth and make it rain in your business, I’ve got your back every step of the way.
