  Do people really have that many subscriptions that they do not notice? I have seen a number of products advertising this ability to "find" monthly subscription. Is this a helpful thing, do people have so many transactions that they can't find a subscription?

  I read this with a grain of salt after seeing the first line in the tweet:

  "via the @donotpay chat we are building)."

  There is definitely potential to this and I am looking forward to seeing the progress on this but this is just promoting your product in its early stages. Would be interesting to see more use cases and experiences down the line

  First rule of personal finance: Nobody cares more about your money than you do.

  Second (corollary) rule of personal finance: Most financial advice you receive will not be optimised for your situation or be in your best interest.

  Tertiary (adjunct) rule: Financial institutions generate income by turning as much of /your/ money into /their/ money as possible.

  Can I use ChatGPT to delete all people and articles that appear on my screen on the subject of “I foolishly did X with AI because I am baby man who doesn’t understand responsible behavior”?

  If I could use it for that, I still would not use it for that.

  I'm not comfortable handing all my personal and financial stuff over to another business

  That might be interesting usecase for banking applications feature. Another thing is profiling your behaviour based on your transactions history, terrible choice while optimising own processes without considering privacy. But why not!

  Discussed yesterday:

  I cloned myself with AI, and she fooled my bank and my family

  Listen to episode 157 of the excellent podcast "Blocked and Reported" before you think this is real.

  An attention-hound (note the old tweets submitted) does something stupid for attention. Film at eleven.
