What people are saying
“AI is a computer program so how can we trust Voyant or similar (a computer program) which the 'advisor' will trust and relay the information to the client 🤷♂️ 😂”
“Just for the record, I retired with $500k in my IRA. I'm paying out $5,000 a month, so $60,00 per year. After 7 years of retirement, my IRA is still $500k and I continue to get $60k a year. Good luck”
“I have also found AI being “lasy” using old figures from a year or 2 ago as it’s cheaper processing using previously summarised data than gathering and processing again. You have to prompt, check, and re-prompt”
“Q1 I’d double check if the DB is estimated 20k a year nominal or real terms. ie are you getting literally 20k a year in 17 years time, or enough income to buy what 20k would today?”
