What a terrible article. 4 people are mentioned, yet it only says how one of them is doing (51% ROI). The first guy is just making "profit" which doesn't tell us anything, the second girl is investing 10x as much as she was 4 years ago, which doesn't necessarily mean she's making a significant amount, just that it's been steady enough that she's comfortable with it, then there isn't any information at all about the last guy. I can't say these "Serious Stock Market Gains" are very impressive if the author won't even say what they are. The article barely mentions AI so the headline is bullshit too. The part about a 14 year old working at Taco Bell and "pouring" his paychecks into fucking Palantir is nice and horrifying though, so I'm not saying the article doesn't fit here.
This is why I posted it not the ChatGPT part, but kids basically investing in the stock market. You are correct though the article is horribly written.
