A Warning for Traders and ChatGPT... | STR 541

Author: ClayTrader August 18, 2025 Duration: 9:00

There is a new study making its way around from MIT in regards to what ChatGPT is doing to people's brains. In my opinion, none of it is shocking; however, it also made me think about all of us as traders. I'm open to the idea that maybe I am overthinking this and it's not necessarily true, but I'm pretty confident I'm at least in the general area of truth. Finding consistency and success in trading is a very hard thing to do as I'm sure many of you already know, and while it may seem like ChatGPT can make our lives easier as traders, I think I'd disagree. Let me give you my thoughts and you are more than welcome to reach out to me and disagree. It's always a bit more interesting that way anyhow! Let's get to it!
