Came across this thread from a company <https://twitter.com/donotpay> that's creating ChatGPT plugins related to personal finance, and thought I'd share. I'm not affiliated or associated in any way with this, nor have I even tried this out myself. I merely looked at the twitter thread <https://twitter.com/jbrowder1/status/1652387444904583169>.
In fact, I would personally strongly recommend against either this product or anything like it that involves handing out your personal info unless the privacy implications are well understood, as are concerns around "hallucination." I'm merely quite amused by the fact that generative AI is being applied for a case that was one motivation I had in getting into automating my personal finances decades ago (leaky personal expenses), and is actually going beyond that in executing account closures, sending legal letters, conducting negotiations, and such. *Original twitter thread.* <https://twitter.com/jbrowder1/status/1652387444904583169> *Excerpts:* *I decided to outsource my entire personal financial life to GPT-4 (via the* *@donotpay chat we are building).I gave AutoGPT access to my bank, financial statements, credit report, and email.Here’s how it’s going so far (+$217.85) and the strange ways it’s saving money. (1/n):First, using a DoNotPay @Plaid connection, I had it login to every bank account and credit card that I own and scan 10,000+ transactions.It found $80.86 leaving my account every month in useless subscriptions and offered to cancel every single one.The bots got to work mailing letters in the case of gyms (using the USPS Lob API), chatting automatically with agents and even clicking online buttons to get them cancelled.Example of how it works below.Now that the easy savings were out the way, I wanted it to go deeper.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
