A man from Thailand claims that he used ChatGPT to generate numbers that helped him win the lottery.
Patthawikorn Boonrin recently went viral after he shared details on TikTok about how he used an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI to generate numbers which he in turn used to play the lottery and win. His strategy involves inputting some what-if questions, as well as some past winning numbers as a ChatGPT query, according to Mashable.
Boonrin’s winning numbers were 57, 27, 29 and 99, and he won 2,000 Thai baht ($59). Although the prize was not large, she told a local publication that she had used this strategy to generate lottery numbers in the past. She added that ChatGPT told her not to “get too hung up” on the method, pointing out that winning the lottery is a matter of luck, and also suggested she get outside and get some exercise.
Boonrin plans to share more about his experience using ChatGPT to generate lottery numbers on TikTok. He will surely attract even more attention if he pulls off another even bigger win. However, it could lead lottery companies into the ongoing conversation about the ethics of ChatGPT.
There have been various opinions about the ethics and issues with ChatGPT since its inception in November 2022. Institutions such as colleges and universities have banned the use of AI chatbots on the assumption that it could increase plagiarism and cheating on campus. Meanwhile, various industries including journalism, communications, arts and technology, among others, have embraced the service.
However, the implementation was not without its folly. Publications that use AI to silently generate articles were found to be posting pieces with incorrect information, artworks that were supposed to be human-like were missing limbs and digits, and the GPT language model used by other companies was found to be fake when released to the public.
I have no idea what problems might arise if more people try to use ChatGPT as a method of generating lottery numbers, especially if people want to boost their egos by sharing online how they got their winnings.
