Educational Purpose Only Would you actually consider this?

Personally I could never justify letting ChatGPT anywhere near my bank info but I’m guessing some people have already done this 😬

I mean I'm a paid subscriber but why in the actual amazing world of gumball would I ever even consider doing this?

Are people insane?

There are lots of web apps that can get strict read
Only access to your finances through a well
Established API. They’ve been around for at least ten years.

This is using the same thing. Just with an AI to reason about it. It’s not like ChatGPT can spend your money

That's not entirely true. I've seen people give gpt access to Amazon accounts and actually order items. There was one on a sub where they told gpt it had a $20 limit and for it to order a gift for them gpt thought they would like.

Take that with the reddit sized grain of salt that is, but still...

Yes that was because it was through either an intentionally read/write plugin or in this case giving Codex full control of you computer to click the buy page. Point is it was intentional and a decision and it had nothing to do with the Finance plugin that can only read and not write/purchase transactions.

Got you, thanks. I've not used the finance feature, no need really[that's what the wife is for lol]. But i could definitely see it being useful for people that are scatterbrained.
