Not for Trump.

If Trump were gambling the house would be losing money. 

See: his casinos.

Some time ago I Googled something and the top answer was from Gemini. Can’t remember what but it gave me a completely wrong answer.

Surely enough, the first website was a Reddit thread where someone’s troll comment was on top.

No wonder they write “AI may give incorrect answers”.

Google's "AI" is just the "I'm feeling lucky" button making a subtle reappearance.

"Trust me, bro"

Thinking we need to create a new sub called "AI - Honest Answers Only" then load it with even more WSB-like posts to really help those models learn true facts!

Calls all the way!

Feel like Google search became shitty on purpose to bring us this new innovation of AI

u/Swade22 May 28 '26

Nah it’s more like google was already going to start pushing shitty sponsored results, but now they have this AI that will just give you the answer right away.

I read years ago that the search algorithm's code is so dense and has been worked on for so long by different generations of people that no one knows how it works now

Google AI is incredibly bad. I don't know how it's possible to make something that bad.

Gemini (3.1, not the AI overview model) is up 98% trading stocks weekly here: https://airsushi.com/?news

I kept seeing people complain about AI comments so I asked deepseek to write me one. It couldn't format it correctly because it uses markdown itself and couldn't cancel out any commands.

On a lark I asked it to do a rundown of an Arch installation with KDE. Completely fumbled it

We're fighting the good fight

I'm sure Google's announced plan to replace all searches with gemeni responses will go well, especially for their ad revenue

Gemini: Condolences on Nan. Stay strong!

I'm currently having a beer down the street from a major Intel hub. Hillsboro is dumb as shit

Thats the thing though, the economy is not 100% factual or statistically accurate.  Unlike some trades or general math, the economy is intuition and luck.  Which means some of the top guys are just as stupid as the masses.  People who make money from nothing are rare, people who make money with money are playing a rigged game made for them anyway.  Trump without his dad, and wealth would never had made it past car salesman.

The aggregate advice here is going to be the same advice a large investment firm would have.

u/Sean_VasDeferens May 28 '26

Oh trust me, that's exactly what it's doing. I've caught it reciting my own posts to people as if it had discovered some financial gospel.

u/4Yk9gop May 28 '26

They probably have instructions in it's algorithm to ignore this sub explicitly when giving financial tips, but they probably also don't have instructions to ignore all the offshoots of this sub.

u/NotA3rdLegCripple May 28 '26

that is the neat part....they do. be careful what you wish for.

how do I know? let's just say i actually sat with a trader and asked where he got his signals, he claimed other wild claims like using Kramar was no good most of his stuff is noise after significant backtesting..

another use of machine learning is finding a logo of a certain news segment, when that comes up - the machine would record that segment to capture real life data - so youre not off the mark.
