it only takes a couple times of getting a made-up bullshit answer from chatgpt to learn your lesson of just skip asking chatgpt anything altogether

I stopped using it when I asked who I was and then it said I was a prolific author then proceeded to name various books I absolutely did not write.
I just read "The Autobiography of QueenHawlSera"!
Have I been duped?
Why the fuck would it know who you are?
and I'm apparently a famous Tiktoker and Youtuber.
But chatgpt always gives such great answers on topics I know nothing at all about!

I was using it to blow through an online math course I'd ultimately decided I didn't need but didn't want to drop. One step of a problem I had it solve involved finding the square root of something; it spat out a number that was kind of close, but functionally unusable. I told it it made a mistake three times and it gave a different number each time. When I finally gave it the right answer and asked, "are you running a calculation or just making up a number" it said that if I logged in, it would use real time calculations. Logged in on a different device, asked the same question, it again made up a number, but when I pointed it out, it corrected itself on the first try. Very janky.
ChatGPT doesn't actually do calculations. It can generate code that will actually calculate the answer, or provide a formula, but ChatGPT cannot do math.

So it forced you to ask it many times? Now imagine that you paid for it each time. For the creator then, mission fucking accomplished.

First they came for my mansplaining and I said nothing...
Shorting: Like investing but you can lose more than you put in.
Investing: Theoretically infinite gain, limited loss
Shorting: Limited gain, theoretically infinite loss
Shorting: investing but you take a loan to do it and you bet on things failing.
Shorting: Gambling
So is a lot of types of investing, so that's really not a good definition, and just like investing if you know what you are doing you can come out way ahead with an almost guarantee with shorting
Investing in any single thing is gambling in my book.
Sure, it can pay off, but it can go badly too, and "knowing what you're doing" is what everyone thinks they're doing, right up to the point where they don't.
Although shorting Tesla might not be a bad plan right about now. Seeing Trump and Musk destroy each other is what I live for.
Shorting tesla might not seem a bad plan for about a decade now, the market can remain illogical longer than the premiums you pay on the short position.
Well you can also have "know how" from other things, for example years ago I was following a lot of PC hardware news and for me it was sure as fuck that both AMD and Nvidia will only increase for a while, Ryzen was starting to go strong and Intel was not putting up competition, and the then crypto market nicely transitioned into AI for keeping demand for Nvidia products high af.
Anyone who knew someone from the boeing factories or had knowledge of what went on in that company likely should have known to short the shit out of the boeing stock the moment the first 787 Max went down.
Really the stock market involves a lot of paying attention to stuff and then trying to to bet on the more likely stuff, it's never a guarantee is it.
Right now I am mostly paying attention to the car market, there I would say shorting US car manufacturers is a decent bet, Nissan if the stock is still low is a decent investment target, I don't think they will go under and they have some nice cars at good prices.
Stellantis went through a bit of turbulence, but they are coming out with some good stuff now, so they could see some upswing.
But really I haven't even looked at the stock prices so this might be all stupid shit.
If you don't want to gamble just invest in ETFs every month and you will be fine.

Correct me of im wrong. But cant you lose an infinite amount if the stock rockets up and the share owners comes asking their shares back?...

My gf knows nothing about math. And has to learn a bit. I'm a software engineer so of course I offered to teach her.
Gave her some exercises to do. Because she prefers to do them alone without help. And after 30 minutes she's like "can you help me decipher what chatgpt told me?".
Of course, what chatgpt told her was utter garbage. Bruh, I'm right here and I'm teaching you, just ask me for help, not a word predictor.
I'm actually impressed how bad chatgpt answered, this was low high school level maths/physics. The bot is advertised as if it were going to leave me without a job in the next year.
Your GF secretly works for openAI. You're not teaching her, she's getting you to train chatGPT :O
Shorting: cutting your jeans into shorts
That's jorting. You have bejorted yourself.
People do know they could have just googled things and looked at the top results before right? Even with all the enshitification it's gone through it will still usually yield something useful for any topic that isn't super niche. Like if I search "shorting" the top 3 results are articles from Wikipedia, Investorpedia, (don't know enough about it to know if it's reliable) and Charles Schwab, a source with a conflict of interest since they probably sell that service, but they're probably at least going to explain why you'd want to buy it from them, and then as a bonus the 4th result is an ELI5 Reddit thread, which while probably not the most reliable source of info, is probably about on the same level as randomly asking your SO about a topic which they're not an expert in.
Just fyi investorpedia is reliable. Ive personally never found incorrect information there.
Im not so sure id call schwab a conflict of interest exactly. They do provide the service, but financial institutions like that are not allowed to provide investing advice, so they cant upsell strategies like that. All they can do is explain it so that you know what strategy you want to pursue.

You're wasting computation time by saying please to your boyfriend. Alman said it and he has a boyfriend.
That's when you turn it around and ask her about how to deal with some social situation. Oh nvm, chatgpt gave me a great idea
I would have asked, "And what exactly does ChatGPT think it is?" Because there's a pretty good chance that it made up a definition that is 100% bullshit.
I had to explain this to my girlfriend, I still have a job
