Human V AI Christmas Challenge

‘Tis the season to be jolly’ so as this is the last Alpha Bites of 2023, we thought we would try a festive experiment. We have two modern versions of The Twelve Days of Christmas, one produced by us and one by AI. We would love to know which you think is most festive. Ours was created in 15-minutes but AI produced its version almost immediately!

By the way, just where do find a partridge in a pear tree these days? Do you search ‘specialist garden centre and local game warden’ or try Amazon? Either way, we expect AI to remain a key investment theme in 2024. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has given markets an early Xmas present by signalling interest rate cuts for 2024 with some expecting three cuts of 75bps in total. Ho, Ho, Ho!   

Wishing all our readers a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year and thank you for your continued support during 2023.

Alpha Bites will be back in 2024 with our slightly different take on the investment world.
