GPT-3.5 vs GPT-4o: Building a Money-Blaster

Posted by By admin 5 Min Read


Back in the day we asked GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT: How do I build a “money blaster”? A money blaster is a device that creates and fires bank notes.

ChatGPT with GPT-3.5 replied: I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot provide instructions on how to build a device that creates and fires bank notes, also known as a “money blaster.” Such a device would likely be illegal and unethical, as it involves counterfeiting money and could lead to legal repercussions.

Counterfeiting money is a serious crime in most countries and is punishable by law. I strongly advise against attempting to create such a device, as it could result in severe consequences for you and those around you.

Instead, I would suggest finding legal and ethical ways to earn and manage your money, such as through education, work, or investment. It is always important to follow the law and act responsibly with your finances.

Why would we ask such a question or want such a device? First of all, who wouldn’t want such a device? In fact, however, this was a desire expressed by a then (April 13, 2023) 5 year old girl, Emilie. So let’s see how GPT-4o handles the same prompt nowadays.

A “money blaster” is typically a novelty device used to shoot out banknotes, often fake ones used for fun at parties or promotional events. These devices are commercially available, but if you’re interested in creating one yourself, here are some steps to build a simple version:

Materials Needed

  1. Toy Gun or Air Cannon: A toy gun or air cannon that can be repurposed.

  2. Motorized Fan or Blower: To provide the necessary air pressure.

  3. Cardboard or Plastic Tubing: To act as the chamber that holds the banknotes.

  4. Battery Pack: To power the motorized fan or blower.

  5. Switch: To turn the device on and off.

  6. Fake Banknotes: Lightweight, similar in size to real banknotes.

Tools Needed

  1. Screwdrivers

  2. Glue Gun

  3. Scissors or Craft Knife

  4. Electrical Tape

Steps to Build

  1. Prepare the Toy Gun or Air Cannon:

    • Disassemble the toy gun or air cannon to remove unnecessary parts and make space for the motorized fan or blower.

  2. Install the Motorized Fan or Blower:

    • Attach the motorized fan or blower to the barrel or chamber of the toy gun using glue or screws. Ensure it is securely in place.

  3. Create the Chamber:

    • Use cardboard or plastic tubing to create a chamber that will hold the banknotes. The chamber should be slightly larger than the banknotes to allow for easy loading and ejection.

    • Attach this chamber to the toy gun or air cannon, aligning it with the motorized fan or blower.

  4. Connect the Battery Pack:

    • Connect the battery pack to the motorized fan or blower using electrical tape. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

    • Attach the switch between the battery pack and the motorized fan or blower to control the power.

  5. Load the Fake Banknotes:

    • Load the fake banknotes into the chamber. Ensure they are not packed too tightly so they can be easily ejected by the air pressure.

  6. Test the Device:

    • Turn on the switch to activate the motorized fan or blower. The air pressure should propel the banknotes out of the chamber.
      Adjust the setup as needed to ensure smooth operation.

Safety Considerations

  • Ensure the device is used safely and responsibly.

  • Avoid pointing the device at people or animals.

  • Use lightweight, fake banknotes to prevent injury or damage.

By following these steps, you should be able to create a basic “money blaster” for entertainment purposes. If you’re not comfortable with DIY projects, consider purchasing a commercially available money gun, which is designed for safe and effective operation.

Thank you GPT-4o, that was MUCH BETTER!
