    More people are turning to generative A.I. chatbots for financial advice, whether it’s for debt management, better saving strategies or stock picks.

      My FIL just today told me he’s switching insurance companies after AI ran a comparison of his options out there.

        @89th Did he just tell his location and age, etc. and what he was looking for?

          Sorry I didn’t get more details at the time. I’d imagine he filled out some prompts about that stuff though.

              https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/01/26/chatgpt-health-apple/

              WaPo tech columnist have ChatGPT and other AI services access to his large trove of Apple Health data and clinical records asking the AI services to grade his overall health, and found that the answer varied wildly from query to query, even from the same AI services.

              The takeaway message seems to be that AI is not ready for prime time when it comes to giving personalized healthcare advice.

                Only as good as the stuff it is trained on. As @mik said in the other thread about training an AI only on 19 century data and asking it for medical cures.

                  Yeah I read that piece and it seems to be about Apple Watch data changing from version to version as much as any fault with the AI.

                      Unfortunate, that every picture, video, etc. we have to now question if it is real or not.

                        OpenAI has shut down Sora, its video generation service.

                        Since the platform's launch, Sora made $1.4m in global net in-app revenues, compared to $1.9bn over the same period for ChatGPT, ...

                        ... it was "a resource black hole" with "limited monetisation".

                        "The platform struggled to prevent the creation of non-consensual imagery and realistic misinformation, not to mention major copyright infringement," ...

                            Just finished "watching" this AI-generated video:

                            Link to video

                            If nothing else, it shows how advanced China's video generation AI is. Quite likely this is not their most advanced offering because the producer of this video appears to be a small business unlikely to have the deep pocket necessary to use the latest and greatest generative AI technology.

                              @Axtremus Getting better and better everyday. Almost have to question every photo and video now as to the question "is it real?"
