LLMs: What I'm Doing in Amibroker is Impossible
By Dave Mabe
A list member who prefers to remain anonymous recently sent me this from a session with ChatGPT where he's trying to decide if Amibroker is right for him:
I also spoke to ChatGPT who argued the Amibroker would use terabytes of ram potentially for 10k symbols 15y and 200 custom columns.
This is ChatGPT saying what I've done for over 15 years is impossible.
In fact, I've got over 400 columns in my column library, and a backtest takes less than an hour to complete.
It's easy to be wooed by the fake confidence in ChatGPT and other LLMs.
Don't be fooled.
LLMs are incredibly powerful, but using them proficiently requires practice and discernment about what they're telling you.
