AI cannot be used to select winning lottery numbers.

What AI can do is improve written text. For example, I used AI to improve the title of this thread. The improved title reads as follows:

Can AI Be Effectively Used to Win a Powerball Jackpot?

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?

Yes, I have used the technology for several years. Not only can it not select winning numbers, it cannot read for you. You are on your own when it comes to reading. Please reread my post.

I did not write that AI can ONLY edit text.

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 numbers do periodically cluster. People pick winning lottery numbers every day and a tool to assist this effort can be helpful.

You need to spend more time reading and comprehending and less time writing.

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.

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.

Do not think of AI as a magic 8 ball, think of it more as a dedicated assistant.

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). I had an issue with the pick N games at first, because it kept capturing the "wild ball" data.

Enter AI... Copilot to be specific.

I explained the code and the current data in the table and asked for assistance generating a RegEx filter to skip any data outside of the results. I already knew the basic solution, but even after a CS degree, regular expressions are still a bit confusing. Copilot suggested an appropriate regex and I went back to the code and tried it out. After only 2 iterations I found what I was looking for.

Now, I have finally solved the most annoying part of this hobby (aside from not winning), draw history updates! AI was used in the solution, but only 1 line of code.

AI can surely generate combos to play, but if it could generate a winning combo with any more regularity than coincidence, every jackpot would have millions of winners.

Have an EXCELlent day!

Exactly. But the OP refuses to drill down a bit and understand this thought.

I just asked AI about this and it said no, it can't. 😉

Coin Toss, I salute you.

Yours should have been the very first reply in this thread!

Best wishes, and Merry Christmas.

Confirming ! Grok/Claude/Chatgpt/Perplexity huge flaws of of simple mathematical or remembrance. Then when you ask why it made such basic mistakes it gives some layered up , lawyer type of answers :

"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 makes me fluent in language."

Or

"these occasional slips are inherent trade-offs in how large language models like me are built—optimized for broad, natural conversation rather than perfect recall or computation. Where it matters most, tools and explicit reminders can eliminate the issue entirely." Yeah right keep reminding it to remember every few min.🤩😂.

From my prior usage it doesn't matter what level it is used (SuperGrok/Claide Opus, etc) they make this kind of basic mistakes which is completely unacceptable so this trillion dollar valuations are puffery. I don't see any firm in the financial sector or where accuracy is critical using this tools with confidence.

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.

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 still did not have any degree of accuracy. I have checked numbers it generated and it rarely gave one accurate #. The LP rng is more accurate.

And of course, it can edit text, etc.

I do not see how this topic is "too funny."

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 it remain to be seen. G5

Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!
