This may be the shortest post that I have ever written. It’s one of my first experiences with artificial intelligence. If you haven’t heard of ChatGPT yet, it’s an artificial intelligence (AI) program that seems to be a real breakthrough.

To test it out, I asked 5 common retirement questions and am posting the ChatGPT answers. All were copied word-for-word, from the first answers provided.

I think you’ll agree, they are all well-written and contain good, basic advice. The more I read about new advances in AI, the more I think we’ve reached a game changing tipping point in its everyday application.

Read through ChatGPT’s answers and let me know what you think …!?

1. What is your forecast for stock market performance in 2023?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to accurately forecast stock market performance in 2023. The stock market is unpredictable and can be subject to a wide variety of influences that are impossible to predict in advance. Therefore, the best advice is to always be aware of potential risks and always do your own research before investing in the stock market.

2. At what age should someone retire?

There is no definitive answer as to the best time to retire, as it is a highly individual decision. Factors such as your desired lifestyle, financial resources, and health should be taken into account when considering when to retire. It is important to consult a financial planner or other qualified professionals to ensure that you can make a comfortable transition into retirement.

3. What is a safe annual savings withdrawal rate for a retired person?

Most experts recommend not withdrawing more than 4-5% of your savings each year in retirement. This amount can be adjusted based on age, health and other factors. Withdrawing more can be risky and potentially impact your ability to sustain retirement income over a longer period of time.

4. What is an effective retirement investment portfolio mix of stocks and bonds for a 55 year old?

For an individual who is age 55 and preparing for retirement, a prudent retirement investment portfolio mix of stocks and bonds could be 70% stocks and 30% bonds. This mix of assets provides diversification and growth potential to help ensure a secure retirement. Stocks, such as those in broad-based index funds, can provide long-term growth and a buffer for inflation. Bonds, such as those through government and corporate-grade securities, can provide protection from potential market declines and provide a steady stream of income. This mix may need to be adjusted as the individual’s circumstances change and is also dependent on the individual’s risk tolerance.

5. How does one maintain purpose in retirement?

Retirement can be a difficult transition for some individuals because their days have suddenly gone from full of purpose to seemingly without one. It can be helpful to set goals and create a routine to make retirement more fulfilling. It may also be beneficial to explore new activities and interests, engage in volunteer activities, spend time with family and friends, and take an occasional part-time job that is not too demanding but still provides a sense of purpose. Finally, it is important to stay physically and mentally active, as this can help to maintain a sense of purpose and prevent boredom.
