AI Hack For Marketplace Furniture Will It Fit
Shopping for secondhand furniture on platforms like Facebook Marketplace can land you amazing deals. But the age-old question remains: "Will it fit in my car?" One TikTok user, Gabriella Caruso, has shared a surprisingly simple yet effective solution using artificial intelligence, and it's taking the internet by storm.
The AI Hack for Stress Free Furniture Moving
Gabriella Caruso (@gabxcaruso on TikTok) revealed her go-to method for avoiding the dreaded "it won't fit" scenario. Her TikTok video, which has already garnered over 70,000 views, explains how ChatGPT can be your secret weapon.
The process is straightforward:
- Find a piece of furniture you like on Facebook Marketplace or a similar platform.
- Note down its dimensions.
- Input these dimensions, along with your car's make and model, into ChatGPT.
According to Caruso, the AI "will tell you whether it’ll fit or not." She claims this "genius ChatGPT hack" works "every single time" and has saved her significant trouble, eliminating the need to borrow a larger vehicle or rent one for her purchases, such as figuring out if a Herman Miller chair will fit in a Suzuki Jimny.
Traditional Wisdom vs AI Precision
While ChatGPT offers a modern solution, some traditional guidelines can still help. Generally, certain vehicles are better suited for hauling bulky items:
- Pickup trucks are usually the best bet.
- Large SUVs come in second.
- Smaller SUVs and crossovers can also be quite capable.
Taller vehicles typically offer more vertical space than shorter ones. Hatchbacks and fastbacks often accommodate more than sedans. Furthermore, sedans with rear seats that fold down to create a single space with the trunk offer more versatility.
However, even with these rules of thumb, uncertainty can linger. That's where Caruso's AI tip using ChatGPT comes in handy.
AI's Growing Role in Car Related Tasks
The use of ChatGPT isn't limited to just checking furniture dimensions. Car enthusiasts and everyday drivers are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence for various automotive needs.
For instance, Yahoo Finance reports that prospective car buyers can use ChatGPT to find the best deals in their area. By inputting a budget, desired car models, and necessary features, users can ask the AI to scan for current incentives, rebates, and nearby dealerships. Yahoo also suggests using AI to compare vehicles, estimate trade-in values, and consider financing rates.
Similarly, USA Today notes that online car sellers like Edmunds and CarGurus have integrated ChatGPT plugins to assist customers in selecting vehicles that match their specific requirements.
Overwhelmingly Positive Reactions
Caruso's advice has been met with widespread enthusiasm online. Comments on her video include:
- "I AUDIBLY GASPED AT HOW SMART THIS IS."
- "This is so smart!! Personally, I just show up and hope for the best."
- "This is actually life changing advice thank you."
One commenter even shared their own alternative: "If it doesn’t fit, order an Uber XL to deliver it to you :) I’ve done this a few times!"
Another user confirmed the accuracy of the ChatGPT method: "Dude I love doing this and I’m not even kidding it is so accurate. My desk fit in my man’s car with ONE CENTIMETER TO SPARE. IT WAS SO CLOSE TO NOT FITTING."
This clever use of AI highlights how technology can simplify everyday challenges, turning potential moving day nightmares into smooth sailing.
