Key Points
- AI like ChatGPT can sometimes guess future events based on past data, but it's not reliable.
- The study tested AI on elections, sports, and economic trends—with mixed results.

Why It Matters
Don't rely on AI to predict the future—it's not a fortune teller, but it can still help you understand the past.
