Me and my AI friend ChatGPT

  I asked ChatGPT: " Those large exposures that can become dangerous to our bank systems are built-up with assets perceived as risky or with assets perceived as safe? " ChatGPT answered: "Large exposures that can become dangerous to bank systems can be built-up with either risky assets or safe assets, depending on the circumstances. If a bank has a large exposure to risky assets such as high-yield bonds or subprime mortgages, then a sudden drop in the value of these assets can lead to significant losses for the bank.

On the other hand, large exposures to safe assets such as government bonds or highly rated corporate bonds may not seem risky on the surface. However, if a bank has a significant amount of its assets invested in these types of securities and there is a sudden rise in interest rates, the value of these bonds may fall, causing los...

For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, many banks had invested in mortgage-backed securities that were perceived as safe because they were rated AAA by credit rating agencies. However, when the underlying mortgages began to default at higher rates than expected...
