The current stage of artificial intelligence is that it is rock stupid.

It may get better—or maybe it will not.

The current stage of artificial intelligence is that it is rock stupid.

I can't agree. Back in 2004-2006, I taught computer classes at a local tech college. One of the first things I would have my students do is have a chat with the then, "A-i.com chat bot", a very rudimentary program that would answer some basic questions, but sometimes without a lot of coherence. The difference between that AI and today's AI is a massive leap forward, and far more coherent/"smart".

I have been using ChatGPT for some time now to help me analyze the markets and stock price movements. I use it almost daily to write code (VBA for Excel) and it has saved me a huge amount of time.

I share my work with friends who are in the same business (managing stock portfolios) and their opinions regarding ChatGPT are the same as mine.

Based on the work done so far, ChatGPT is like a brilliant but naive assistant (with a post-graduate degree in the quantitative side of business/economics).

Naturally, the questions/prompts to ChatGPT have to be very precise.
