The script, line by line
This is the version our generator performs. The asker is glum and impatient from the start, which makes the reply land harder.
Beat 1, the ask (about 0–4 s)
You (into the phone, flat and tired): "Hey ChatGPT, make me rich. How do I become a millionaire?"
Beat 2, the reply (about 4–6 s)
AI voice (from the phone, completely deadpan): "Get a job."
Beat 3, the reaction (about 6–12 s)
You (frown deepens, getting angry): "Get a job?! Bro, I asked you how to get rich!"
Timings are approximate; what matters is the order and the pause before the reaction.
Delivery notes
- Hold the phone like a walkie-talkie, close to your mouth. It reads instantly as "talking to the AI".
- Keep the reply short and flat. Any emotion in "Get a job." kills the joke. Think of a bored customer-service voice.
- Leave a half-second of silence after the reply. The stare is the punchline as much as the words.
- Show the anger through your face and tone, not volume. Shouting into a phone mic clips and sounds worse.
Variations on the script
The three-beat structure stays, but you can swap the lines:
- The deadline version: "How do I become a millionaire in 30 days?" "Get a job."
- The pet version: the question is captioned while your dog stares at the phone, and the reply plays out loud.
- The overachiever version: "I already have a job. How do I become a millionaire?" "Get a second job."
- The parent version: a parent asks, and the caption reads "Finally, someone said it back to them."

Perform it without filming
Our generator already has this script built in. Upload one photo and the AI plays every beat for you: the ask, the "Get a job." voice from the phone and the angry comeback, in a 12-second vertical video with sound. Read how the millionaire AI video is made, or go straight to the generator.

Millionaire Meme AI Video FAQ
What does ChatGPT say in the millionaire meme?
Two words: "Get a job." The reply is always short and flat, which is what makes the asker's reaction funny.
What is the exact question in the meme?
There is no single official wording. The common versions are "How do I become a millionaire?" and "How do I become a millionaire in 30 days?", often opened with "Hey ChatGPT".
How long should a millionaire meme video be?
Around 10 to 15 seconds. Our generated videos are about 12 seconds: roughly four seconds for the ask, a beat for the reply and the rest for the reaction.
Can I change the lines in the generated video?
Not at the moment. The generator uses one fixed script so every video stays on-format; you can change the caption when you post it.
