I think a chatbot fails the cost-benefit analysis pretty badly at this point. There are big reputational hits organizations can take for giving bad advice and potential hallucinations just create a lot of surface area there. Importantly, the upside is quite minimal too. If a user wants to, they can pull up ChatGPT and ask it to act as an 80k advisor. It might do okay (or similarly to how okay it would do if we tried to develop one), only it’d be much clearer that we didn’t sanction its output.
Sudhanshu is quite keen on this, haha! I hope that at the moment our advisors are more clever and give better advice than GPT-4. But keeping my eye out for Gemini ;) Seriously though, it seems like an advising chat bot is a very big project to get right, and we don’t currently have the capacity.
Why isn’t there an 80k chat bot?
