AI wording help needed

[edit]

I need help wording an AI question. 'Since the Gaza war and ETF hype climbs of Oct/2023; excluding factors such as whales moving/selling coin, interest rate hype volatility, rocket attack volatility, election volatility, carry trade volatility, etc. Do the bulls or bears make more profit during normal New York trading days?' Music Air BB (talk) 23:19, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following is the answer with close to that wording:
"Excluding extreme factors such as whale movements, geopolitical crises, interest rate changes, or volatility caused by events like elections or attacks, both bulls and bears can find opportunities in Bitcoin trading on typical New York trading days. However, the profit outcomes can depend on market conditions and strategy.
-Bulls generally profit during uptrends, where Bitcoin's price increases over time. In normal trading conditions without large external shocks, Bitcoin tends to see periods of gradual price increases driven by institutional demand, positive news around adoption, and accumulation phases by long-term holders. Historically, Bitcoin has been in an overall bullish trend, with traders profiting from buying dips and holding during these rises.
-Bears profit during price corrections or downtrends, often shorting the asset or benefiting from market panic. Even on normal trading days, Bitcoin experiences regular volatility (its intraday movements can be 2-5%), and bears can capitalize on these corrections or local downtrends. Bears might fare better during market uncertainty or technical breakdowns where resistance levels are tested and fail.
-Since the Gaza war and ETF hype in late 2023, Bitcoin has experienced surges in volatility, but during "normal" trading conditions, bulls tend to profit more in long-term trends. However, short-term corrections or consolidation periods may provide bears with short-term opportunities. The daily volatility, even in relatively calm conditions, allows for both bullish and bearish trades to be profitable based on strategies like swing trading or day trading.
-The key takeaway is that both bulls and bears can profit depending on the timeframe and market conditions, though historically, the market tends to trend bullish long term due to increasing adoption, institutional interest, and the overall bullish bias of Bitcoin over the years."Music Air BB (talk) 00:44, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You tell us you need help, but what is your question?  --Lambiam 08:15, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am just wondering if that is the best wording. I have also been asking for prices at different market hours etc. She says that most Fridays, the biggest dips are after NYC closes about 4pm. Many of us in a BTC IRC are trying to profit better. We are still wondering why the dive caused by the DOJ on July 29-30 hasn't been addressed by mainstream media. If I were American, I would be spamming emails of every politician demanding transparency. Music Air BB (talk) 14:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please be aware that generative AI chatbots make up responses to factual questions that sound plausible but generally bear no relationship to reality. Only when an issue has been described multiple times in a sufficient number of sources can you expect a response to conform to the consensus of experts. The correct answer may be obvious from generally available facts, but if the obvious conclusion is not stated as such in the sources but requires some inference, current AI programs are not up to the task.  --Lambiam 19:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I uploaded an image with most of the big dives labelled with causes. The price always seems to recover except for the DOJ fail on July 29. I think the bears make the dips compound and this creates cascading margin calls. I learned to load up on capital to avoid margin calls. The bears and bulls should have learned from the Oct 16/23 rumour spike that caused over $100 million in margin calls (long and short), in less than one hour. This shows that bulls and bears can both make money, and lose it. I should re-word it to 'which should be more cautious with expected events that can affect the price of bitcoin?' or 'which upcoming events are expected to affect the price and which direction?'. The US election is a pump and dump, but many may not expect a Dec 10 pump and dump when Microsoft shareholders vote on buying shedloads of coin.

Given the current state of chatbot technology, it is entirely possible to refine a question until you get exactly the 'answer' you are looking for, regardless of whether this answer has any connection with reality. The 'best wording' thus entirely depends on what you are trying to achieve. Personally, I wouldn't consider current AI to have any merit with regard to predicting future bitcoin prices, beyond its utility as a means to lose money as quickly as possible.

The exact answer we want is the the most accurate one. We can adjust the question weekly, daily, and even hourly. Through backtesting we can refine to the best questions to ask. Does Iran have enough rockets left to create FUD, are any doom beak-offs trying to sell books this week. We should ask all the billion dollar AI companies to put up money for a contest. Best question and most accurate answers for bitcoin price for the next day/week/hour. We could also have an AI notifier that continuously spews 'Buy now! or Sell now!' Many think AI will not profit for at least 2 years. By then they will need to sell subscriptions for at least $10 a month. The best AI will get the best income, and then Amazon will buy it; and offer it free on Prime. The WMF has many worthy contests and should create one for 'AI question of the day' The judges will be AI companies that have to pay each winner $1,000 for each daily contest. My newest point is AI can help, but ask the right question.Music Air BB (talk) 22:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How can you know that the question you are asking is the right question? I think you are deluded, at least when it comes to the present state of the art of publicly accessible AI programs. They do not analyze the data, but only regularities in textual patterns.  --Lambiam 08:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then do so. You have asked a question (of sorts). It has been responded to. This is not a forum for speculation about the predictive powers of AI. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:47, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
