What is Gambling? ChatGPT Responses.

[Davidvictorson]

I saw a similar post in the bitcoin discussion board and decided to do the same thing but with gambling. I played around with ChatGPT and asked it to explain what gambling is, like I am a 5 year old, 15 year old, 25 year old, and 50 year old. See the responses below:

"Explain gambling to me like I am a 5 year old"

Gambling is when you play a game to try to win something, like money or toys. It's a little bit like playing a game of luck, like rolling dice or flipping a coin. If you guess right, you might win something, but if you guess wrong, you might not get anything. Just like in any game, it's important to remember to only play with things you can afford to lose, and never to gamble more than you can afford.

Explain gambling to me like I am a 15 year old

Gambling is the act of betting or wagering on an event with an uncertain outcome, with the primary intent of winning extra money or material goods. It can take many forms, such as playing the stock market, betting on sports, playing casino games like poker or slot machines, or buying lottery tickets. However, it's important to keep in mind that there is always a risk involved in gambling and it's possible to lose money. Additionally, it's crucial to make sure that you only gamble what you can afford to lose and to never let it become a harmful addiction.

Explain gambling to me like I am a 25 year old

Gambling refers to the act of betting or wagering on an event or game with an uncertain outcome, usually with the intention of winning additional money or material goods. Gambling activities can range from traditional casino games like blackjack and roulette to sports betting and online games like poker. It's important to understand that gambling always involves some degree of risk, and it's possible to lose money. Additionally, it's important to be responsible and only gamble within one's means, and to never let it negatively impact one's life. It's also crucial to be aware of and understand the laws and regulations surrounding gambling in your jurisdiction.

Explain gambling to me like I am a 50 year old

Gambling refers to the act of risking money or something of value on an event with an uncertain outcome, with the expectation of winning more money or material goods. It can take many forms, including casino games, sports betting, online gaming, and lotteries. While gambling can be a source of entertainment for some, it's important to understand that it also involves risk and there is a potential for losing money. It's important to be responsible and only gamble within one's means, and to be aware of and understand the laws and regulations surrounding gambling in your jurisdiction. Additionally, it's important to recognize when gambling may become a problem and to seek help if necessary.

The main message for me is gamble with what you can afford to lose and seek help if you think it is affecting you negatively.

Asking questions basing up on age and its responses doesnt really differ that much. lol. Basing up on simple understanding then gambling is something that that you do risks up money for earning money.
Gambling is something for fun and at the same time you are really that risking something.Of course you should really be that accepting that you should only spend the amount that you can afford to lose.

ChatGPT responses are generated based on patterns in the data it was trained on. Besides, OpenAI's ethical guidelines state that it should not create content that is harmful, abusive, or otherwise offensive, and that it should avoid engaging in illegal or harmful activities.

I don't think you can refer to your chats in that way. The URL you provided is only accessible to you and holds no value to anyone else.

[Baofeng]

So I try to ask without any age restriction:



So just the same concept though, I mean we all know what gambling is, so there is no surprises with that kind of response even if from age 5-50.

You bet on an event with uncertain outcome to make money, simply as that.

It's an interesting experience but I'm still looking for someone able to leverage its abilities and skills for real help in gambling, at online casinos or at land based one thanks to a smartphone. But unfortunately I think the level ChatGPT AI is still too low to give a concrete help for any gambling game yet, sadly. Maybe in few years we will see enhanced AI able to do that though.

[PX-Z]

No need to ask any kind of AI to understand what gambling is, any age can simply understand what it is.
But unlike what kids are doing with a simple game, adults are prone to addiction, losing with monetary value and should always get professional help once get into it.

Also, posting the chatgpt chat thread is a session made, no one can see it besides you, so its useless posting here.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

There are so many talks and discussions around this CHATGPT bot at the moment, my notification bar is litters with headlines concerning this, it seems like a new trend for every internet user, and it's reply to questions are most of the time, so perfect that someone not used to wordings wouldn't believe the sentence was generated by an Ai..
Anyways, this is one of the improvements, or rather, new innovative coming to the world wide web, and amazingly, it know very much about gambling, this would be very beneficial to gambling newbies, it's another means through which they can learn really fast.

I do think that ChatGPT's response about what is gambling based on age doesn't really make sense. I mean, regardless of age, the answer will be general. Just look at how the response turned out, almost just identical to each other.

Aside from that, it's no big deal whatever responses we got from that AI. I mean, what for especially if just asking that kind of question?

But maybe, you just considered doing that out of curiosity and just want to share what will be the AI's response regarding that.

[acroman08]

sorry, this might be off-topic but I wonder if they have enough data to make a comprehensive answer as to why there are people who are much more prone to gambling addiction than others. I am curious because I've read before that gambling addiction can be connected to or influenced by genetics(this also includes alcoholism, drug addiction, etc...).

[Darker45]

Gambling is not really subjective so you'd expect that the AI will provide you some general definition. ChatGPT's response is not different from the standard definition of gambling you can easily find in dictionaries.

So the interesting part here is how ChatGPT adjusts its definition a bit to suit the age provided. It's amusing how it uses the keyword "toys" when asked to define gambling to a 5-year old, or "rolling dice" or "flipping a coin" in lieu of blackjack and roulette and lotteries it mentioned in the definitions for older ages.

We can also notice how it includes laws and regulations in the definition as the age indicated belongs to adults.

[Maus0728]

I wonder if they have enough data to make a comprehensive answer as to why there are people who are much more prone to gambling addiction than others.

I asked the bot and this is its answer.

- Genetics: Some studies have suggested that a tendency towards impulsive behavior and risk-taking may be inherited.....
- Environment: Social and cultural influences can play a role in shaping gambling behavior....
- Personality: Certain personality traits, such as impulsiveness, sensation-seeking, and poor impulse control, have been associated with an increased likelihood of gambling problems.
- Mental health conditions: Some individuals with mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, may be more susceptible to gambling problems as a way of self-medicating or coping with negative emotions.

If you're curious about how old the training data are, this article claims that OpenAI started using recent data in 2021^[1]. And with a lot of research going on in the last few years about gambling, it can't be surprising that ChatGPT knows a general information about gambling addiction.

Obviously, it should be expected that this AI program does have access to lots of data sources.

In the first place, ChatGPT is an ADVANCE AI BOT and therefore expects that it's using a powerful technology as also stated on their main site.

I am curious because I've read before that gambling addiction can be connected to or influenced by genetics(this also includes alcoholism, drug addiction, etc...).

Without looking further at the web search result regarding that to verify if it's true, I prefer to debunk that idea.

Gambling addiction for me started with the environment, then it depends on the person if they will allow addiction to shut their ability to be a responsible gambler. I don't want to blame any other things leading to addiction but only ourselves. Just my own point of view.

I guess the answer to the 15-50 year old ones was generally the same, the 5-year-old one was the one that most differed from the rest (still the same for the most part, but dumbed down to the level where risks aren't portrayed as serious as the rest). Nothing new or unique, though I did consider adding gacha-type of games for the 5-year-old description initially, but not for the rest.

I do think that ChatGPT's response about what is gambling based on age doesn't really make sense. I mean, regardless of age, the answer will be general. Just look at how the response turned out, almost just identical to each other.

Well, that's how ChatGPT works, it's really generalized unless a specific data or point has it. It was an issue with stackoverflow at some point iirc, it presented seemingly correct answers due to the way the bot presented it, but was actually incorrect.

It made some sense when asking the AI to explain like he was a 5 years old child, because it was made an allusion to toys and the answer was relatively shorter than the other ones. But on the other cases, it didn't make difference when explaining to a 15, 25 and 50 years old person, with the exception the AI changed one word or another in each answer.

And the AI is actually right, because individuals from all those ages can understand a same explanation with excellency. Only when we are talking to children the terms and definitions used must be different: clearer, simpler, and making reference to elements of their infant world as examples.

[Hispo]

Good experiment. I personally find interesting how the Artificial intelligence actually mentioned toys while trying to explain gambling to a little children, It is also a bit disturbing to me because I would never expect a AI telling those things to a kid (who obviously should not gamble). 

I would have asked what their favorite casino games are, to try to see if the AI has some "favoritism" towards some specific kind of gambling, even though we know it is not a human being.

[QueenVera]

Yeah I got the main message and  with all this warnings from casinos, people still think that casinos always want to see their players loss which I really don't agree totally with because it wouldn't be a nice reputation for them.
I also love the way the entire explanations were done in categories and they are centred on risk management which is a major key in gambling because no matter how proficient you are in gambling, without a good risk management, one is bound to make series of losses and they also pointed out using only the money one could aford to lose.

Actually, I'm not too curious about ChatGPT and I'm still waiting for further news from each developer. But it seems that this year, big operators like Google, Yahoo, and others are starting to launch this AI-based ChatGPT program. And each operator claims that their AI is better than its rivals.

This will probably speed up the AI trend to the surface as many people are interested in these AI-based projects. And maybe this will also allow gambling developers to develop gambling-based AI, such as collecting sports betting information and inviting people to try it before they launch it to the public.

I don't think it will improve even with a couple of years passing because it is based on just collecting information already available on the internet which even us can search ourselves and it is trained to find this information faster.ChatGPT is good for asking things that we don't know and to get that information faster than if searching at google but it cannot provide any real help for example to make statistical and backed by probability choices that can really help us in sport betting.When this times come it will be a revolution for bettors.

To predict the outcomes of fights in boxing and MMA, there has been an AI engine for almost a year, as the developers say, which specializes in analyzing data on martial arts called MartialBot, of course it will not answer the question of what gambling is, but the forecast for the fight can be checked.

I highly doubt the accuracy of such tool.The reason for that is that MMA is physical fighting between two persons.No AI or app in the world can know the physical form of each of the athletes,the favorite for example may have been drinking and abusing his physical condition while the underdog maybe preparing at the maximum of his capacity and even going further,in such scenario we would see a surprise result in the betting context as the underdog is going to win the match between these two.Tell me how can the AI or app predict the physical condition and behavior of a fighter?Pretty much worthless and impossible in such case for the MMA.
