It is known that a man in Thailand won the lottery using a set of numbers generated by ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, and is drawing attention.
According to Thailand’s local media ‘The Tiger’ on the 4th (local time), Thai national man A won the last two digits of 99 among the numbers 57, 27, 29, and 99 generated using ChatGPT and won a prize of 2,000 baht (about 7 7,000 won).
He shared the fact of winning on his Facebook page and wrote, “Now is the time to pray to the robot.” Although the winning amount was not large, the media said that his experience would have a great impact on the gambling industry.
Some expressed their expectations, saying that many people would try to find out the lottery winning numbers using Chat GPT in the future, but others were skeptical, saying, “Chat GPT generated random numbers, and one of them just coincided.” . They also asked to prove how ChatGPT provided the numbers.
Mr. A said, “I asked ChatGPT about the lottery winning number several times,” and “ChatGPT replied that winning the lottery depends on luck.” ChatGPT even advised him to “stop obsessing over the lottery and go out and exercise.”
However, he did not give up and kept asking ChatGPT for the lottery winning numbers in various ways. He also revealed that when he entered a hypothetical situation with winning number stats from the past 10 years, the chatbot returned the numbers to him.
Meanwhile, experts are yet to provide a clear explanation of how ChatGPT can provide winning numbers. However, many Thai netizens are paying attention to the next AI-generated number to find out if Mr. A’s success was simply luck or whether ChatGPT can actually predict the lottery winning number.
