Enter A.I. : Chat Bot Writes an Article For Me.

by | May 8, 2023

The hottest topic of the current moment in financial markets and in the news in general is the emergence of A.I. (artificial Intelligence) writing programs such as ChatGPT3. So I decided to try an experiment with ChatGPT3. I asked it to write a 450 word article assuming my profile as a long time Certified Financial Planner and Registered Investment Advisor based in Burbank CA. I input the current relevant topic of the choice investors now have between quality dividend paying stocks and US T-bills paying 4.5% Below please read what ChatGPT3 generated: Note: words in italics are my commentary

As a certified financial planner and registered investment advisor, one of the most common questions I receive from clients is whether it is better to hold quality dividend paying stocks or invest in a US T-bill that offers a 4.5% return. While the answer to this question ultimately depends on each individual’s financial goals and risk tolerance, I firmly believe that holding quality dividend paying stocks is a wise investment strategy that can lead to long-term wealth accumulation.

[Reinvestment potential and use of dividends is omitted by the chatbot in this narrative, but I did give it a limit of only 450 words]

On the other hand, a US T-bill is a debt security issued by the US government that provides a fixed rate of return. While it is considered a safe investment option, with minimal risk of default, the return on investment is relatively low compared to other investment opportunities.

So why should you consider holding quality dividend paying stocks over a US T-bill that offers a 4.5% return? Here are a few reasons:

1.    Potential for higher returns: While a US T-bill may offer a fixed rate of return, the return on investment from quality dividend paying stocks can be much higher. Not only do these stocks offer the potential for capital appreciation, but they also provide regular income in the form of dividends. In fact, some of the best dividend paying stocks have outperformed the market and generated higher returns than other investment options over the long-term.

2.    Inflation protection: While a US T-bill offers a fixed rate of return, it does not protect you against inflation. Inflation can erode the purchasing power of your investment over time. However, quality dividend paying stocks have the potential to increase their dividend payments over time, which can help offset the impact of inflation on your investment.

3.    Diversification: Holding a portfolio of quality dividend paying stocks can provide diversification benefits to your investment portfolio. By investing in stocks from different sectors and industries, you can reduce the risk of a single company or sector impacting your overall returns.

4.    Tax efficiency: Dividend income is taxed at a lower rate than other forms of income such as interest income or capital gains. This makes dividend paying stocks a tax-efficient investment option, especially for investors in higher tax brackets.

In conclusion, while a US T-bill may seem like a safe and attractive investment option, holding quality dividend paying stocks can offer higher returns, inflation protection, diversification benefits, and tax efficiency. As always, it’s important to consult with a financial planner or investment advisor to determine the best investment strategy for your individual financial goals and risk tolerance.

While ChatGPT3 generated a satisfactory and factually correct response, the text seemed to lack nuance and any sense of human connection or sense of humor.

What do you think about the words ChatGPT3 wrote? I would be interested in your response.
