In this article, we will be taking a look at the 10 stocks ChatGPT said will make me rich in 10 years. To skip our detailed analysis of generative AI and its application in the field of investing, you can go directly to see the 5 Stocks ChatGPT Said Will Make Me Rich in 10 Years.
Using Artificial Intelligence To Invest
The markets have been talking about artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, all year. Companies across a wide range of industries and sectors are attempting to introduce their own AI-driven products and services so as not to be left in the dust by their competitors. At the same time, every investor is trying to get into the artificial intelligence trade today. Individual investors and hedge funds alike are putting their manpower into picking out the best AI stocks for the rest of the year as we head into the second half of 2023. Interestingly enough, at this point, it's not just manpower that's going into picking stocks. Some investors and hedge funds are actually trying to harness the power of AI to pick stocks instead of leaving the job to human beings. This trend really gets you thinking about how successful an AI software might be at helping an investor build up their portfolio. Is it a strategy that might lead to mind-blowing results or one that will lead you to ruin?
On August 3, CNBC invited Todd Rosenbluth, the head of research at VettaFi, to talk about just this. CNBC's Bob Pisani noted that AI-driven exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been around for a while and are starting to come up more this year. Pisani thus invited Rosenbluth to share some of his insights on these ETFs and how effective they are. According to Rosenbluth, a lot more AI-driven ETFs have been working on picking stocks recently. Here's what he had to say about this development:
"It's perhaps a smarter way of picking stocks. I know that computers can be smarter than I know I am, [it's] whether or not they're going to be better at outperforming the broader S&P 500. There's no emotion behind it."
Is Generative AI Really Helpful For Investors?
The discussion surrounding artificial intelligence, in general, and in the world of investing, has been extremely interesting because of the immense potential of this technology when it comes to changing the way people live, work, and even invest. It makes you wonder how not only AI-driven ETFs but also AI chatbots can contribute to the investing world today. This May, CNN reported that a dummy portfolio of 38 stocks recommended by OpenAI's viral chatbot, ChatGPT, actually managed to outperform major investment funds in the United Kingdom, for instance. This portfolio managed to gain about 4.9% between March 6 and April 28, while the 10 leading investment funds of the country reported an average loss of about 0.8%. During the same period, the S&P 500 rose by 3%. The result of this experiment is merely one example of the sheer potential vested in artificial intelligence when it comes to investing.
Our Stock-Picking Experiment with ChatGPT
Considering these developments, we also attempted to get a list of stocks from ChatGPT this March. We first prompted the AI chatbot to present itself as a professional investment advisor and then asked it to present a list of 10 stocks it thinks will make us rich in the next 10 years. ChatGPT then proceeded to give us a diversified list of stocks, ranging from tech names and consumer staples to financials and healthcare. Some of the most notable names on its list included Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), all big names in the tech and AI sectors this year.
Today we will be revisiting this list of stocks to see how each of these companies has performed over the period between March and August and check if ChatGPT really was right in recommending these names. By doing this, we will see if these really can be considered stocks that will make you rich in 2023 and beyond.

About 45% of that net long exposure is composed of direct and indirect AI beneficiaries trading at reasonable valuations.
