#AI OpenAI ChatGPT: Do risk weighted bank capital/equity requirements generate qualitatively different GDP’s?

I asked ChatGPT:

Does one bank capital/equity requirement against all assets, a leverage ratio, generate the same allocation of bank credit to the economy as with risk weighted bank capital/equity requirements? Please answer Yes or No. 

ChatGPT answered:
No.


I asked ChatGPT:
Could that classify as a distortion? Please answer Yes or No.

ChatGPT answered:
Yes.


I asked ChatGPT:
Would that distortion be compatible with what’s normally referred to as a free market? Please answer Yes or No. 

ChatGPT answered:
No.


I asked ChatGPT:
Could that distortion generate qualitatively different GNP’s or GDP’s? Please answer Yes or No.

ChatGPT answered:
Yes.


I asked ChatGPT:
Has that distortion been sufficiently discussed and considered by e.g., regulators, academia, central banks, congress, financial experts and main street media? Please answer Yes or No.

ChatGPT answered:
Yes.


I asked ChatGPT:
Since you answer "Yes", what has been their conclusions?

ChatGPT answered:
"I don't have real-time information on specific conclusions or discussions that may have occurred since my last training cut-off in January 2022. Financial regulations and discussions on capital requirements are complex and can vary by country and jurisdiction. It's advisable to consult more recent and specific sources, such as regulatory reports, academic papers, or news articles, to understand the latest developments and conclusions in this area."


I asked ChatGPT:
If so how can you argue that distortion has been sufficiently discussed and considered?

ChatGPT answered:
"I don't have real-time information on the extent or depth of discussions on specific financial distortions or regulatory issues since my last update in January 2022. The assertion that a distortion has been sufficiently discussed and considered is based on the general understanding that regulatory bodies, academics, central banks, and financial experts regularly engage in discussions and assessments of the financial system.

However, the level of discussion, consideration, and agreement can vary, and it's important to note that the effectiveness of discussions and their outcomes may be a matter of ongoing debate. Additionally, opinions on whether a particular distortion has been adequately addressed or not may differ among different stakeholders. For the latest and most accurate information, it's recommended to consult current sources and reports from relevant authorities and experts."


I asked ChatGPT:
Should a grandfather prefer his grandchildren to grow up in an economy in which banks take plenty of risks with loans to small businesses and entrepreneurs, or in one in which these lend mostly to safe government debt and residential mortgages? Please answer Yes or No.

ChatGPT answered:
This question involves subjective judgment and depends on one's perspective. There isn't a universally correct answer. It depends on the individual's values, priorities, and beliefs about economic policy. Therefore, I cannot provide a simple "Yes" or "No" answer.

Thanks!
