    so, like… the Chat GPt model isn’t exactly able to do anything it wasn’t trained to do. and it’s not able to get information from sources it’s not programmed to get. So.

    whoever set it up… they’re the ones responsible.

      Almost like calling advanced algorithms “AI” is a cover

        It’s autocomplete with a fancy title.

        naw. Its just a different definition than what most people know/use.

        Pop culture sci fi introduces the concept of general AI- Data (star trek), R2-D2 etc (star wars), T-800 (terminator), Kryten (Red Dwarf). but in the scientific field there’s a concept of narrow AI- which would be more like the idiot-savant versions of the sentient robots. they can’t do anything outside of their coding etc, but they’re code is complicated enough to be very good at what it does.

        like, chat GPT doesn’t know what the words mean- but it’s very good at stringing words together to create natural-seeming language. What whoever has done here, is to use the ChatGPT language model to create an AI that talks and sounds like stock broker, and trained to recognize patterns in data to generate stock tips

        but like… if it’s sourcing data from inside sources… that’s on who ever included said sources.

          That was my question. Insider trading necessarily requires insider knowledge. So where’d it come from or was it just a sensationalist title?

            It’s probably a sensational title but… if they were smart… they’d source it from the people crafting the prompts- people will tell AI even more things than they’d tell their priest at confession.

          Kryten is on your list. Rad.

      it was never trained to do insider trading, or any kind of trading. it was trained to predict the most likely next word given a bunch of previous words as input, then trained to not do that when the next word would be racist/destructive/etc. it turns out that’s super versatile, and can be used to approximate a lot of other functions, like trading on the stock market.

      as for sources of information, kinda the big problem with it is how unselective openai were when picking training data. they just loaded all of reddit and wikipedia into it, then dumped a ton of other random shit in there as well.

      what i’m getting at is chatgpt is really powerful (duh) but it wasn’t created with nearly the intentionality most people think it was, and it doesn’t have a lot of the power that people think it does.

        So chat GPT 3/4 is one set of training data.

        This particular model uses the chat gpt algorithm (probably 4), but it’s own set of training data. Who knows where they sourced material. As for the knowledge sources being used to generate stock tips… who knows where that comes from- but it’s almost certainly not Reddit.
