You may know by now that ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot is so smart and human-like that it can write code or write your college essay. ChatGPT is expected to have an impact on the fields of journalism, law, medicine, education and many others.
It might also be useful to small business shops.
You can ask ChatGPT to write some ad copy for you for your tent sale. You can ask it to tell consumers why they should tint their windows or buy a remote start, and send that information out in an email blast.
We asked it to list the replacement door speakers for a 2018 Honda Civic. (See its answer below).
You can use it to post informative articles on your website. We asked it to write a story on “What To Know Before Buying a Car Radio.”
We also asked some basic questions about the car audio market to see what it would state.
Here are some sample ChatGPT questions and answers:

CEoutlook: Write an article on what you need to know about car radios before buying an aftermarket radio?
ChatGPT: When it comes to replacing a car radio, it’s important to know what you should look for before buying an aftermarket radio. This article will provide insight into the key things to consider when looking for an aftermarket car radio.
- Compatibility: It’s important to make sure that the aftermarket radio is compatible with your vehicle. Most new cars are built with a digital system that requires a specific type of radio. Check the specifications to ensure that the radio will fit in your car.
- Features: Consider the features you need your new radio to have. If you’re looking for something basic, you’ll want to go with a basic radio. If you’re looking for something with a lot of features, look for a high-end model.
- Price: There are many different factors that can affect the price of the radio. Look at the features you want and compare the prices. You may find that a more expensive model offers more features and better quality.
- Installation: Make sure that you are comfortable with the installation process. If you’re not sure, look for a professional installation service. This will ensure that everything is installed correctly and safely.
- Warranty: It’s important to make sure that you’re protected in case of any problems with the radio. Look for a warranty that covers the radio for a certain amount of time. These are just a few of the things to consider when buying an aftermarket car radio. Taking the time to research and compare the different models will help you make the best decision for your needs.
ChatGPT is not without its limitations. It is not completely accurate, so you will need to check facts and figures. At the moment its data base is limited to 2021 or earlier, so it won’t have information on new products or the newest technology. But all this is changing rapidly, and we may see improvements in its data base over time.
If you want to try it out, go to https://platform.openai.com and log in (you can log in with your gmail address) or sign up. Then go to “Playground.”
Microsoft is including ChatGPT directly in its updated Bing and Edge search engines. We checked out Bing, but we were put on a waiting list to use it. Google will also release its own version of ChatGPT called Bard.

I’ll be impressed when it can tell me the color of the left blinker wire on a 2019 BMW 5 series tailight.
I asked ChatGPT your question. Here is the reply “The left turn signal wire on a 2019 BMW 5 Series tail light is typically yellow. However, it is always recommended to check the wiring diagram for your specific vehicle to ensure accuracy, as different trim levels and options can sometimes result in variations in the wiring.”
Thank you Tony!
HAHA!
Looks like it really favors JBL…SMH
