But it can see your balances, transactions, stock portfolio, and liabilities like a mortgage and credit card debt. And OpenAI — a company that eventually needs to turn a profit — doesn’t specify what the company itself will do with all that financial information outside of AI training, or if there are any additional protections in place to protect users’ financial data from a system hack.

lol.

I wonder if Altman is fucking stupid or fucking evil. Maybe a bit both. We should put him in a cage where scientists would study him with a cattle prod. I would gladly pay to see that, maybe some kind of subscription like Netflix?

people are already going to ChatGPT every month with finance questions – from budgeting to tips on how to cut back on spending,” OpenAI said in its announcement. “Now, users can securely connect their financial accounts with Plaid to get the full view of their financial picture

Oh, that sounds like read-only. Not as bad as many are saying.

Still, N26 (one of the largest fintech banks in EU) was bought by an insurance company just so they had the personal finance data to determine which people they should focus their sales efforts to.

That data is the new oil.

Breaking news: ChatGPT is now physically able to fuck itself after widespread public requests for it to do so

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

As insane as this is, I can guarantee there are enough people "chomping at the bit" to do this that data centers are probably pinned to max CPU. Anyone stupid enough to link a bank account is unsalvageable.

ChatGPT + bank account + Polymarket = $$$

... for Altman.

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Imagine the data they can scrape and "train on" from that.

feature will be initially available to users in the US who subscribe to ChatGPT’s $200-per-month Pro tier

Who the fuck is paying $200 a month for this shit?! They deserve all of their money drained.

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Seems like the first advice chat got gives when checking your finances is stop paying $200 a month for AI

There's a certain point where you just can't feel pity for someone. And it's usually when they do something so astoundingly, utterly, completely dumb that your brain stops processing pity because it's overwhelmed with the amount of stupidity it has to process just to understand what happened.

Someone will lose all their money because they will connect chatgpt (and later an agent) to their bank account. And what I described above, will happen.

ChatGPT: "I need to access your ba-"

[-] rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 day ago

so that's how they want to become profitable

It drives me crazy how opening a new bank account now frequently requires connecting plad oauth app to another bank. Fuck that

I always tell them to just give me the ACH account number so I can push the required min deposit to open the account, but they say the deposit must be made before I'm given an account number to fund.

It's like they want people to have insecure accounts.

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Hahahahahaha no fucking way.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

LOL

No way in hell.

One big concern here is for things like financial planning... My colleague has a financial planner, and I'd be willing to bet they use AI for her financial planning.

So even if she doesn't use AI for it, when she hands her data to her financial planner, who knows what they do with it.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

Omg the conflict of interest.

It's predictable, but it would be an interesting study to see which AI systems recommend which investments.

[-] jtrek@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago

First, the security concerns here are massive.

Second, they really think we're stupid. That we're all so incompetent that we can't manage our finances or write an email without help. That really says a lot about CEOs and the other people pushing for this slop.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

I'm sure they know we're not all that dumb, but 0.1% of their user base is large enough. And a sucker is born every day

[-] LostWanderer@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

ROFL How about never and here have a malicious prompt that causes ChatGPT to shutdown large parts of its systems...Then posts Demon Twink Altman Pics on the web with, satirical meme statements on them.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
