I chatted to Ray Dalio's AI doppelganger: It says there's a 75% chance the AI bubble bursts in 2026, but wouldn't tell me which stocks to avoid buying | Fortune

"The bot is trained on a range of materials, including Dalio's books and public speeches. The hedge fund titan has described it as the natural extension of the computing partners he developed decades ago at the company he founded. It "is consistent with my current main goal in life, which is to pass along what I have that can be valuable to others," he has said."

"Dalio, worth $15.4 billion, previously said his digital persona is "about 80% as good as speaking with me about markets, investing, the economy, politics, and geopolitics." Similar to human economists and analysts, "Digital Ray" did not cave when pressed for specific stock tips—either those investors should buy or those they should avoid. The AI twin does offer general investing advice and principles, as well as echoing Dalio's take on the economy."

"For the time being, however, it has a reasonable sense of its context. The question of the current quarter is, of course, whether AI is in a bubble or not—and when that bubble may pop. At present, the model may have a flaw: The timeliness of Digital Ray's responses is based on an algorithm that scrapes news articles, social media posts and interviews given by Dalio. Should Digital Ray survive beyond its maker, it will have no contemporary content with which to analyse the outlook."

An AI chatbot named "Digital Ray" replicates Ray Dalio's insight and experience, trained on his books, speeches and public material. Conversations covered national debt, prospects of an AI bubble and the secret to becoming a billionaire. The chatbot offers general investing advice and principles while declining specific stock recommendations. Dalio rates the persona as roughly eighty percent as effective as speaking with him and frames it as an extension of earlier computing partners and a means to pass along valuable knowledge. The model's responses rely on scraped news, social posts and past interviews, creating a timeliness limitation and a risk of lacking contemporary content if it outlives its creator.
