ChatGPT proved it: AI can now lose money like a human

? ChatGPT has officially reached the human level of intelligence — and, as it turns out, that’s not just a compliment but also a diagnosis.

Recently, researchers decided to run an unusual experiment: they gave the neural network a virtual equivalent of $10,000 and allowed it to trade cryptocurrencies independently on a real market. The result was more than “humanly” realistic: within a week, ChatGPT made 44 trades, only 2 of which were profitable. The remaining 42 resulted in a $7,200 loss.

In other words, artificial intelligence demonstrated the typical behavior of a rookie investor — confidence without experience, excitement without strategy, and blind faith that “next time it’ll work for sure.”

And yet, the AI didn’t give up — on the contrary, it kept trading, compounding its losses while optimistically analyzing its own mistakes. One of the researchers joked: “Looks like we’re witnessing the first form of digital self-deception.”

The irony is that this stubbornness and desire to “win it back” make ChatGPT truly human-like. After all, who among us hasn’t lost money on emotion while convincing ourselves it’s just a temporary dip?

Psychologists note that the AI perfectly reproduced a classic behavioral bias known as loss chasing — the urge to recover losses by taking even greater risks.

In the end, the experiment became more than a test of artificial intelligence — it turned into a brilliant illustration of human psychology rendered in code and numbers. ChatGPT didn’t just mimic our mistakes — it did so with the same enthusiasm and confidence as an average investor.

So perhaps no one can now claim that ChatGPT hasn’t reached human-level thinking. Judging by its behavior, it’s already on the same wavelength as millions of traders who are “almost breaking even.”

?‍♂️ And if this continues, it’s only a matter of time before the AI starts advising not only what to buy on the crypto market, but also whom to vote for. At that point, the experiment can be officially declared complete: artificial intelligence has truly become human.
