ChatGPT and ETFs are two very different things, so it's difficult to compare them directly. However, both are interesting in their own ways, and understanding the differences between them can be helpful in understanding how each can be used.

[.. the rest of ChatGPT's answer read like an 7th grader's essay... so I thought to explain further... ]

Me: chatGPT is based on all the systemic knowledge it can find, but probably not yet create new or idiosyncratic knowledge. Human ingenuity and talent can then use that as a base and focus on improving on the margins, purely on the idiosyncrasies of new knowledge. ETFs are also based on a the system knowledge of the market as a whole - if you want to invest, buying a market ETF gives you average market performance. But human ingenuity can be used to make bets on idiosyncrasies - particularly mispriced securities that will outperform the market. Does that make sense?

Yes, that makes sense. ChatGPT is a large language model trained by OpenAI, which means that it has been trained on a huge amount of data and can generate text that sounds like it was written by a human. However, it is not capable of creating new knowledge or making unique insights. It can only generate text based on the knowledge it has been trained on.

Similarly, ETFs are based on the systemic knowledge of the market as a whole. Buying a market ETF will give you exposure to the overall market, but it won't allow you to make unique bets or take advantage of mispriced securities. It will simply track the performance of the market index or basket of assets that the ETF is based on.

However, both ChatGPT and ETFs can be used as a starting point for human ingenuity and talent. In the case of ChatGPT, a person can use the generated text as a starting point and then focus on improving it and adding their own unique insights. With ETFs, a person can use the market knowledge provided by the ETF as a starting point and then focus on identifying mispriced securities and making bets on them in order to potentially outperform the market. In both cases, human ingenuity and talent can be used to build on the systemic knowledge provided by ChatGPT or ETFs in order to create something new and unique.
