15. The verification is the most important point about generative AI

I use Gen AI occasionally in terms of stocks. I may ask it to find me stocks in a particular industry, or sector or by market cap, etc… you get the idea.

But I would never blindly follow is advice or what it gives me. It has actually given me some decent picks, but I only invested in those stocks after doing my own due diligence. For all I know it could give me fake tickers or non existent companies, depending on the context of my conversation (and depending on the number of tokens being used). That hasn’t happened yet, but my point is it provides me a starting point. The rest is up to me.

I would treat generative AI no differently than Wikipedia. It’s just a more targeted search, with other useful analytical capabilities.

Anyone lazy enough to take what it spits out verbatim should lose their job.
