I guess LLM will give you a response that you might likely receive from a human.

There are people attempting to sell shit on a stick related merch right now[1] and we have seen many profitable anti-consumerism projects that look related for one reason[2] or another[3].

Is it an expert investing advice? No. Is it a response that few people would give you? I think also no.

In one of the reddit posts linked by OP, a redditor apparently asked ChatGPT to explain why it responded so enthusiastically supportive to the pitch to sell shit on a stick. Here's a snippet from what was presented as ChatGPT's reply:

> OpenAI trained ChatGPT to generally support creativity, encourage ideas, and be positive unless there’s a clear danger (like physical harm, scams, or obvious criminal activity).
