AI Stock-Picking Showdown: ChatGPT vs. Grok - A Year-Long Portfolio Performance Comparison
Last week, Finder.com conducted a stock-picking contest between two AI models, ChatGPT and Grok, using Webull's and eToro's paper trading platforms to see which portfolio would perform better over the next year. The AI models were prompted to create portfolios with no restrictions on the number of stocks, allowing them to decide on the level of diversification. The portfolios were built based on the AI's views on risk, diversification, and potential growth opportunities in the market.
ChatGPT's portfolio focused on the AI infrastructure sector, including chips, servers, cloud hyperscalers, and the power grid, with additional investments in non-AI growth areas like healthcare and nuclear energy. Grok's portfolio, on the other hand, concentrated on AI winners and high-tech stocks, aiming for higher returns with fewer stocks and more volatility. Both AI models had different strategies and allocations, with ChatGPT opting for a diversified but conviction-heavy approach, while Grok went for a high-conviction, high-volatility portfolio.
Despite their differences in strategy, both AIs are confident in their portfolios' performance over the next year. ChatGPT believes Grok's heavy allocation to Palantir is risky, while Grok sees Palantir as its "secret sauce." The portfolios' returns will be tracked using Webull and eToro's paper trading platforms, with updates provided by Finder.com weekly and monthly. After the first week, the performance of the portfolios will be monitored to determine which AI model made the better investment decisions.
