AI is susceptible to GIGO .

Garbage In Garbage Out. Programmers have long used that acronym. It's no wonder to me that some companies are teaching their employees to become AI Prompt Engineers.

Don't get me wrong.... I'm all for the intelligent, productive and positive uses of AI. I have seen some fabulous output produced by it. But just like any other computer software it will have its bugs and unpredictable results will be generated. How much better it will get with improvements to i... [ More ]

As someone who has used both the free and paid versions of chatgpt and knowing what prompts to use vs having to ask others, it was subpar. One has to have a basic command of language and it is not like doing Google searches. I have used it with various instructive parameters, and it was not useful.

Could it analyze numbers per my parameters? Yes. But it seems better as an exclusionary tool to avoid the numbers it suggests. I have written 5 or more tier parameters /conditions and it was stil... [ More ]

this topic is too funny.

there was an article of some girl that used ai and I copied what was stated and it came close. maybe 1 number and rest of them off by a couple. trust me chat gpt can help. it might not produce winning numbers but its close.

For basic arithmetic or multi-step math, small mistakes can occur because the process is probabilistic, not deterministic. When precision is critical, I can (and do) use tools to execute code and verify results, but in casual or rapid responses, I rely on the same statistical approximation that

I recently completed a python script that updates draw data to a separate csv file for 14 different PA lottery games with a mouse click... I did the work, found a url that gives a year of data at a time in a table, located the table class in the html code, and wrote a scraper using some common python libraries (requests and beautiful soup 4).

You need to take a computer programming class and a writing class would help. If you need to use AI to write a topic thread title, that says all I need to know.. You are simply mad that AI cannot give you guaranteed or more often than not winning numbers. The answer was obvious before you posted this topic.

Hello, the AI cannot predict the numbers of the next draws, so let's try this: take 10 games generated by the Powerball AI, make a mirror bet using the mirror table, so considering that if the draw is not among the 10 bets, it is also not among the 10 mirror bets. Therefore, bets between bets x mirror bets.

Chatgpt does read and process documents via ocr. It can summarize documents you have never read. So it does read on a processing level.

Again, no system guarantees you a winning number pick. The issue is that it allows you to refine your number analysis with whatever parameters you choose vs spending hours doing it manually.

We also have zero evidence one way or another on how successful it can be in picking winning numbers WITH human input first. Patterns do appear on occasion and numb... [ More ]

I did not write that AI can ONLY edit text.

What are you talking about? Many of us have used it to create rngs or otherwise set parameters for choosing numbers. It can do far more than edit text. It can also research topics, create original stories, edit photos and a million other things.

Have you actually used chatgpt or grok

I think AI is just as good a method for picking numbers as a QP or Rng. It also eliminates personal preferences for certain numbers. I like having it analyze no more than 40 past drawings to create a new rng each time. There are no guarantees with any system

Most ball based lotteries have a fixed number of numbers which remain the same regardless of ball sets.

No, all ball based lotteries have a fixed number of numbers for the duration of that version of the game. The same is true for any game of chance, and hardly limited to lottery games that use balls instead of an RNG. A standard set of playing cards always has 25 cards, a standard die is always a cube with 6 sides, and regardless of the method of choosing the winning numbers a lottery that... [ More ]

Every hand in video poker is dealt from a random 52 card stack, minus your hold cards (54 if playing with jokers). Even multi hand poker... it explains why in a game where you play 10 hands, you could be dealt a Queen of diamonds on 2 hands at the same time. The virtual deck is constantly shuffled until you draw cards... even when nobody is playing it.

This is why regardless of the random state of the draw machines, I prefer to look at past draws... there are zero guarantees, but I feel like... [ More ]

Okay, so the AI won't be able to generate the next winner, so let's take advantage of its large-volume information processing power to create special wheels with higher and lower weight in each position, synchronizing with the minimum and maximum of each previous draw, with filters for the endings (last digit), e.g., 17 7, where 7 is the last digit. Wheels with positional weights synchronized with patterns, hot and cold frequencies, etc. It will be a new type of wheel, to play for 10 to 20 draws... [ More ]

Lottery numbers are way easy to predict than you think. Most ball based lotteries have a fixed number of numbers which remain the same regardless of ball sets. What you mean by random is not random at all but, is based on previous position of each number as explained on my video in Math Section.

Your post made me try a new approach in chatgpt. Instead of pasting past draw numbers and setting the parameters myself to make it give me a new set to try, I am having it create a rng from the past 40 drawings with no input by me. So will see what happens with the five sets for a cash 5 game.

Tucker Black, Excellent explanation. One of the casinos I worked in during the 1980s installed some retro nickel slots. A few of the old time bowmen said, Well hello old friend when they saw them. They told us they won very often on them by seeing what symbols showed up on the first two reels and if they displayed a potential winner they would 'time' pulling the slot handle. Let's say each real had seven symbols so three reels would have 7x7x7 combinations. Far different from the computers as yo... [ More ]

Even with the RNG games, you cannot predict what numbers come next, assuming that the lottery runs their computers the same way as slot machines.

As I work with slot machines, I know how they work. It is as follows:

Every slot machine has a computer chip that generates random numbers constantly. It doesn't matter if someone is playing the machine or not. None of them are set to win or lose . None of them have any pattern. If the thing is on, it is generating random numbers.

Of what i can tell, AI can not win the lottery and here is why...

Lottery (at-east ball based ones) is a hard coded game and AI can not read the sequences and codes used let alone, the randomization process. However, if you know the codes and sequences then you may try AI to help you speed up your processing but AI alone can simply not. If you tried, the results would be no different from that of an Excel number generator.

Well, everything runs on code so, probably.

The chances of winning? Possibly.

I don't care what anyone says, anything is possible.

When or if I play Powerball, I believe I have the same chance of winning if I let the machine pick or if I fill-in the numbers in manually.

For other games, not so much.

I highly doubt AI can win a JP lottery with a single play. I think AI could possibly give you all the possible combinations to play with a high probability of winning but no guaranteed.

One thing it won't be able to predict is triples. Those the only numbers that comes out-of-the-blue and not through any pattern or sequence. And if triples can't be predicted, AI can't do it either.

You can absolutely use AI to win the lottery, and it's even better than writing a bunch of numbers on poker chips or M Ms and picking them out of box. AI can choose a set of random numbers that have exactly the same chance of winning as any other random set of numbers, AND it can also tell you where you can buy tickets, how and where to claim any prize you win, and all sort of other things that won't improve your chances.
