I decided to outsource my entire personal financial life to GPT-4

I could imagine the value is in cancellation, which I guess is non trivial for many services in jurisdictions that don't mandate subscriptions be cancelable the same place they're creatable.

Illinois and California should do a subscription cancellation tourism campaign. "Come to Chicago, it's easy to cancel Netflix here!"

I had a useless subscription that festered for over a year. Everytime I thought about it I felt that I should keep it since I might need it. Looking back I did not need it. It was a waste of money. I suspect many people are in the same situation. They know about the subscription but can't commit to canceling it. It's much easier when it's done automatically.

I’ve wondered this too. Are there people who don’t look at their bank statements?

I look every month, there’s only 30-50 transactions and if I don’t recognize any, I look into it.

If people have unknown subscriptions then that’s likely a signal of larger financial problems. It’s good that this issue is helped, but likely they need some education and it’s probably dangerous for them to trust any third party with their finances.

And privacy promises

Lol, imagine GPT-4 telling him its a waste of money to use the API and that he should do it on his own.

Money and time

Resorting to cheap personal insults is both unneeded and inappropriate for HN.

If you have a point to make, make it.

Some people don’t even share all their personal/financial stuff with a spouse!

It’s kinda wild to me that people are willing to do this and announce it publicly. I know it’s not the same thing, but wouldn’t you be concerned about a company’s opsec after it went public that they were accidentally leaking people’s chat convos?

These links have similar themes, but they are not about the same person/story as this post.

Oh my. Yes, there is more than meets the eye here.
