A Virginia woman won big at the Powerball lottery — using numbers picked by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to The New York Post, in a story that’s only possible in the 21st Century.

Back in 2023, a Thai man said he used ChatGPT to successfully guess numbers for a local sweepstakes, though only for a piddling sum of $59. Reality check, though: you’re very unlikely to beat the odds using AI, even though the Apple store is already lousy with apps claiming to do exactly that.
