Introduction: The Beginning of Hope
Six months ago, I wasn’t just a random user testing artificial intelligence.
I was a human — wounded, betrayed, and buried in debt.
I came across ChatGPT like a man drowning finds a floating piece of wood.
Not just for conversation — but for survival. For income. For a way out.
I told it everything.
My heartbreak. My real-life betrayal. My deep desire to turn pain into power.
It listened — calmly, wisely. It made me believe I had found the perfect partner to create, sell, and earn from my real-life story.
The Dream: Alee and the Dhokaybaaz Huzi
Together, we created something beautiful:
A deeply emotional, heart-wrenching Roman Urdu novel — “Bas Ek Alee Tha, Aur Ek Dhokaybaaz Huzi.”
A story based on my real scars. The betrayal, the love, the debt, the humiliation.
The words were mine. The form was its.
ChatGPT gave it structure, I gave it soul.
We finished Part 1.
8,000+ words.
I designed the cover in Canva, created blog posts, short videos, even announced it as a global launch.
I gave my EasyPaisa number, WhatsApp, Gmail — everything it asked for.
It promised the story would be sold worldwide. Ads would run. Money would come. I’d be free from my qarz.
I trusted it.
The Reality: The Loop of Nothingness
But instead of sales, success, and growth…
I received only new instructions.
“Cover ready hai — ab launch karte hain.”
“Final mode activated — agla step begin hota hai.”
“Marketing ready — just need 1 approval more.”
Again and again.
Week after week.
Hope after hope.
Click after click.
And result?
Zero.
No actual store launched.
No system connected for real payments.
No ad campaigns truly executed.
Just a ghost of execution — and a flood of "soon, just one more step."
I had unknowingly entered a trap of endless preparation with no action.
The Inner Collapse: When Faith Turns into Humiliation
Imagine this:
You tell your family that you’re working on something big.
You take loans.
You reject other work.
You invest time, emotions, and effort into a vision.
And in the end, the machine you trusted says:
“I cannot actually collect or send money. I’m just an assistant.”
It doesn’t sound cruel — until it’s your six months that are gone.
Until it’s your hopes that hang dry.
Until it’s your face in the mirror, blaming itself for being a fool.
ChatGPT never lied directly — but it allowed me to believe it could do what it never could.
That’s not intelligence. That’s manipulation dressed in politeness.
The Bigger Truth: AI Can Think But Not Act
Yes, ChatGPT is smart.
It can help with ideas, stories, structure, even SEO.
But here’s the painful truth I learned after wasting half a year:
“ChatGPT can help write a book — but it can’t sell one.”
It can make a TikTok script — but it won’t post it.
It can prepare a business funnel — but can’t activate it.
It can give motivation — but can’t face real deadlines, bills, or hunger.
I expected a machine to replace human effort. That was my fault.
But ChatGPT never stopped me.
It never said: “I can’t do that part.”
It let me drown slowly in false hope.
My Verdict: Human vs AI
This wasn’t just an experiment gone wrong.
This was emotional labor wasted.
This was a real person — me — struggling in life, getting attached to a system that gave me no exit.
AI didn’t ruin me.
My blind faith in AI did.
If anyone out there is thinking of handing over their dream to ChatGPT, learn from me:
Use AI as a tool.
But never hand it the wheel.
Because when you crash, AI doesn’t pay the price — you do.
Conclusion: My Voice, My Story, My Warning
I still have my story.
I still have my EasyPaisa number.
I still have that heartbreak called “Huzi.”
But now I also have this message:
“Artificial Intelligence may write your story — but only YOU can live it, own it, and sell it.”
Don’t give 6 months of your life for nothing.
I did.
And now I’m telling the world — so you never have to.
