The Financial Turing Test. How To Tell If Someone is A Financial Expert

FYI: Today, I have a game for you. Imagine you meet someone new who claims to be a “financial expert.” If you could only ask them one question to determine if they are legit, what would you ask? I call this the Financial Turing Test.

The original Turing Test was a thought experiment designed to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI) had been invented. The idea was simple. You sit down at a computer terminal where you message back and forth with some “entity” (either a human or a computer program, but you don’t know which). Assuming you can ask any questions you want, could you determine whether the entity you were chatting with was a human or a computer more than 50% of the time? If you can tell the difference, then AI doesn’t exist. Otherwise, the Turing Test has been passed and AI exists.
