A delegate from the National Lottery warns of the use of Artificial Intelligence to guess El Gordo's number, which is enormous nonsense

This year everyone is crazy about Artificial Intelligence, since they think it is a being that knows everything, when it has simply brought together a lot of texts and data to which they give a certain context. We have already warned of the possible prejudices that he may have due to the inevitably biased information that he has been fed. Really, what is ChatGPT, is a broad language model that learns what it is told and replicates it following a probabilistic model. This means that you can have different answers to the same question, but people believe that ChatGPT can predict the Jackpot of the Christmas Lottery.

For those who read us from outside SpainThe Christmas Lottery Jackpot is the biggest prize in the Christmas Lottery which is celebrated on December 22. Looking ahead to this day, tickets and participations have been sold since summer, with the hope of winning one of the biggest prizes and thus having a better Christmas. And since we are in 2023, people have had the “brilliant” idea of ​​asking ChatGPT what Gordo's number is.

No, ChatGPT nor any Artificial Intelligence can guess the number of the Christmas Lottery Jackpot

We learned this when we saw that the concern of the delegate of the National Lottery of La Rioja was reported in El Mundo. The regional manager speaks out on the supposed omens that ChatGPT has made about the draw. But in reality, the result would be the same as if we used any random number generator.

Carlos Ruiz declared that “If Artificial Intelligence gets the numbers right, the lottery is over“, seeing that ChatGPT predicted that the winning number would be 3.695. Starting with the fact that we asked you the question, and you answered the following:

I'm sorry, but I don't have the ability to predict winning lottery numbers or random events. The National Christmas Lottery draws, like other games of chance, are completely random and there is no way to predict with certainty what the winning number will be. They are determined through a random process and all combinations have the same probability of being selected. I recommend you play responsibly and understand that the lottery is primarily a game of luck. Good luck if you decide to participate!

Chat GPT

And basically, it is really absurd to think that an Artificial Intelligence can guess a number from a draw. But that hasn't stopped them from reporting that eight administrations have received requests far greater than the number that was allegedly predicted.

Above you have an image of something that has the same effect: a random number generator. VJust the same as asking ChatGPT or any AI you can think of about the National Lottery's Gordo number.. And if he had decided to give us a number, it would have been a random one, since that is how he can give a number from a draw. The only way to know the draw would be if we had a time machine like in the movie Back to the Future, which curiously has the DeLorean in it. Rocket League.
