Can large models help you earn passive income? Overthinking it. Recently, there was a real trading test with AI, and Grok-4.2 achieved a +10.42% result. It sounds good, but look at others: GPT-5.x, Qwen3, Gemini—most of these mainstream models are either losing money or hovering around zero point几. Elon Musk even joked, "At least this can cover some of the GPU electricity costs." To be honest, using these large models for autonomous trading and making long-term profits is still very challenging. What can a few days of performance in a short-term competition tell us? The fluctuations over a few days are uneventful; the real test is strategies that require long-term holding and dealing with complex markets. AI has not yet reached the level of an "automatic teller machine" in financial decision-making.

Haha, laughing to death. Still hoping AI will work for you and make easy money? Wake up, everyone. Making a few points in ten days or half a month and bragging about it—what about the long term? Elon Musk's words are the real truth: it's just the electricity cost of a GPU.

Haha, Grok's move was purely a guess, just like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. AI stock trading still depends on luck, I don't believe it can guarantee steady profits. A 10% return sounds appealing, but how many can really sustain it for a whole year? That's why I still stick to index funds—it's hassle-free.

Elon Musk's statement is spot on; GPU electricity costs can't even be recouped haha AI stock trading is just a scam joke, thinking you can make easy money Ten percent sounds impressive, but what about long-term? Still a failure Don't be fooled by short-term results; the financial market isn't that simple This is just a gimmick with no real use

Elon Musk's comment is spot on, GPU electricity costs can't even be recouped haha AI stock trading is like this; short-term luck plays a big role, but in the long run, it still depends on the person Grok starts bragging at +10%, what about other models? It's about time to wake up The ones who can truly earn passively are still here discussing; they've already made a fortune quietly Don't trust any AI automated trading; risk control still depends on yourself

10% performance? You're telling me this here, just backtesting stock trading AI stock trading is still a long way off, the real test has just begun Elon Musk's words are spot on, jokingly saying making money is less important than covering electricity bills Earning passively is impossible, never in this lifetime Short-term outperformance doesn't mean anything, long-term is the real hell Basically, don't be fooled by PR, these models are just gambling Wait a minute... all models are losing money, so why did Grok win? There's a story behind this In finance, AI is currently just a showpiece, lacking technology and relying on luck

This is just a numbers game; +10.42% looks impressive, but other models have gone bankrupt. Short-term bursts are useless; real profits come from the long term. --- Lying down and earning? Dream on, buddy. The models can't even cover GPU electricity costs. --- Elon Musk's words made me laugh; he's basically saying AI stock trading is just a money-burning activity. --- Short-term results are worthless; look at the disaster in long-term holdings—it's all crash sites. --- So you still have to do it yourself; don't expect the models to work for you and make money. --- Grok looks pretty good with this number, but other models are collectively failing, and the average is still negative, brother. --- I just want to know if those promoting AI stock trading are also losing money themselves. --- ATM? Ha, not yet. Right now, it's just an ATM taking your money.

Haha, Grok's 10% is just a gimmick. In the long run, it still depends on yourself. What’s the point of earning 10% in one or two months? The real question is whether you can keep earning for three years. Lying down and earning? Wake up, everyone. AI is still far from that. Want to use large models for automatic withdrawals? First, ask yourself if your principal is enough to cover losses. Elon Musk’s words are the real essence—earning GPU electricity costs back is laughable. Short-term data has no reference value; AI in complex markets is still a rookie.

Another new story of cutting leeks. Earning ten points in ten days and then bragging? Elon Musk's words are the real truth. I've never seen anyone truly go all-in on this thing. However, Grok's performance is indeed a bit interesting, just slightly better than Tai's model.

Grok's move was pretty good, but the others are so disappointing... What does that mean? It just shows it's short-term luck; in the long run, it still depends on people.
