A Michigan woman used artificial intelligence program ChatGPT to generate a set of lottery numbers that earned her a $100,000 prize.

"I only play Powerball when the jackpot gets up there and the jackpot was over $1 billion so I bought a ticket," Carvey said. "I asked ChatGPT for a set of Powerball numbers and those are the numbers I played on my ticket."

Carvey's ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball in the Sept. 6 drawing, earning her a $50,000 prize that was doubled to $100,000 thanks to the Power Play option.

For some reason I wouldn’t have admitted that.

That's just as random as anything else...

Exactly. Even more random than a chimpanzee picking numbers.

Yea but I once asked ChatGPT and it quickly summed up the most picked numbers. You can then ask it to spread those number groups out so they aren't all in the 20 range or something.

The odds of it working are still astronomical, though.

Exactly. It won’t stop people from begging ChatGPT for numbers though.

AI is quickly becoming what the internet was in the 1999 .com bubble. It's so great, it will cure everything and there is no end to how it will help us make money and be empowered....until the bubble pops. Get ready, AI is for the most part just fugazi.

I'm sure the number of people who do this but don't win is extremely high

We just don't hear about those cases

Asking artificial intelligence for something that requires no intelligence

There have been random number generator apps for decades. This is actually as basic of a computer application as there is.

Does she need to split the prize with ChatGPT?


Will it feel scorned?

Is this what causes Judgment Day?
