📌 MAROKO133 Eksklusif ai: Woman Asks ChatGPT for Powerball Numbers, Wins $150,000
A Virginia woman won big at the Powerball lottery — using numbers picked by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to The New York Post, in a story that’s only possible in the 21st Century.
“I’m like, ChatGPT, talk to me… Do you have numbers for me?” said Carrie Edwards, remembering how she requested the AI bot for help, during a press conference last week, as reported by the NY Post.
A few days later, the widow from Virginia got a phone notification that she won the Powerball drawing earlier this month.
Because she got the same four of the five numbers and the Powerball number, she got a $150,000 check that she plans to donate the winnings to several nonprofits: the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Shalom Farms — a nonprofit food organization — and the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, which funds research on the form of dementia that killed her husband last year.
“As soon as that divine windfall happened and came down upon my shoulders, I knew exactly what I needed to do with it,” she said at the press conference. “And I knew I needed to give it all away, because I’ve been so blessed, and I want this to be an example of how other people, when they’re blessed, can bless other people.”
To be clear, ChatGPT obviously can’t predict winning lottery numbers. Instead, Edwards effectively used it as a random number generator, and then got lucky.
In our AI age, though, this isn’t the first time somebody’s claimed they used an AI bot to win the lotto. Back in 2023, a Thai man said he used ChatGPT to successfully guess numbers for a local sweepstakes, though only for a piddling sum of $59.
And earlier this year, three university math students in Italy developed an algorithm that they claimed netted them more than $50,000 from a local drawing by spending just $350 on numbers that their algorithm said were overrepresented among winners; whether they actually beat the system like card counters at a game of blackjack is unclear, although hobbyists have occasionally found flukes in state lottery systems.
Reality check, though: you’re very unlikely to beat the odds using AI, even though the Apple store is already lousy with apps claiming to do exactly that.
Just remember that at the end of the day, lotteries and casinos exist for one reason — and the house always wins.

In recent years, LLM Multi-Agent systems have garnered widespread attention for their collaborative approach to solving complex problems. However, it’s a common scenario for these systems to fail at a task despite a flurry of activity. This leaves developers with a critical question: which agent, at what point, was responsible for the failure? Sifting through vast interaction logs to pinpoint the root cause feels like finding a needle in a haystack—a time-consuming and labor-intensive effort.
This is a familiar frustration for developers. In increasingly complex Multi-Agent systems, failures are not only common but also incredibly difficult to diagnose due to the autonomous nature of agent collaboration and long information chains. Without a way to quickly identify the source of a failure, system iteration and optimization grind to a halt.
To address this challenge, researchers from Penn State University and Duke University, in collaboration with institutions including Google DeepMind, have introduced the novel research problem of “Automated Failure Attribution.” They have constructed the first benchmark dataset for this task, Who&When, and have developed and evaluated several automated attribution methods. This work not only highlights the complexity of the task but also paves a new path toward enhancing the reliability of LLM Multi-Agent systems.
The paper has been accepted as a Spotlight presentation at the top-tier machine learning conference, ICML 2025, and the code and dataset are now fully open-source.

Research Background and Challenges
LLM-driven Multi-Agent systems have demonstrated immense potential across many domains. However, these systems are fragile; errors by a single agent, misunderstandings between agents, or mistakes in information transmission can lead to the failure of the entire task.
Currently, when a system fails, developers are often left with manual and inefficient methods for debugging:
Manual Log Archaeology : Developers must manually review lengthy interaction logs to find the source of the problem.
Reliance on Expertise : The debugging process is highly dependent on the developer’s deep understanding of the system and the task at hand.
This “needle in a haystack” approach to debugging is not only inefficient but also severely hinders rapid system iteration and the improvement of system reliability. There is an urgent need for an automated, systematic method to pinpoint the cause of failures, effectively bridging the gap between “evaluation results” and “system improvement.”
Core Contributions
This paper makes several groundbreaking contributions to address the challenges above:
1. Defining a New Problem: The paper is the first to formalize “automated failure attribution” as a specific research task. This task is defined by identifying the
2. failure-responsible agent and the decisive error step that led to the task’s failure.
Constructing the First Benchmark Dataset: Who&When : This dataset includes a wide range of failure logs collected from 127 LLM Multi-Agent systems, which were either algorithmically generated or hand-crafted by experts to ensure realism and diversity. Each failure log is accompanied by fine-grained human annotations for:
Who: The agent responsible for the failure.
When: The specific interaction step where the decisive error occurred.
Why: A natural language explanation of the cause of the failure.
3. Exploring Initial “Automated Attribution” Methods : Using the Who&When dataset, the paper designs and assesses three distinct methods for automated failure attribution:
All-at-Once: This method provides the LLM with the user query and the complete failure log, asking it to identify the responsible agent and the decisive error step in a single pass. While cost-effective, it may struggle to pinpoint precise errors in long contexts.
Step-by-Step: This approach mimics manual debugging by having the LLM review the interaction log sequentially, making a judgment at each step until the error is found. It is more precise at locating the error step but incurs higher costs and risks accumulating errors.
Binary Search: A compromise between the first two methods, this strategy repeatedly divides the log in half, using the LLM to determine which segment contains the error. It then recursively searches the identified segment, offering a balance of cost and performance.
Experimental Results and Key Findings
Experiments were conducted in two settings: one where the LLM knows the ground truth answer to the problem the Multi-Agent system is trying to solve (With Ground Truth) and one where it does not (Without Ground Truth). The primary model used was GPT-4o, though other models were also tested. The systematic evaluation of these methods on the Who&When dataset yielded several important insights:
- A Long Way to Go: Current methods are far from perfect. Even the best-performing single method achieved an accuracy of only about 53.5% in identifying the responsible agent and a mere 14.2% in pinpointing the exact error step. Some methods performed even worse than random guessing, underscoring the difficulty of the task.
- No “All-in-One” Solution: Different methods excel at different aspects of the problem. The All-at-Once method is better at identifying “Who,” while the Step-by-Step method is more effective at determining “When.” The Binary Search method provides a middle-ground performance.
- Hybrid Approaches Show Promise but at a High Cost: The researchers found that combining different methods, such as using the All-at-Once approach to identify a potential agent and then applying the Step-by-Step method to find the error, can improve overall performance. However, this comes with a significant increase in computational cost.
- State-of-the-Art Models Struggle: Surprisingly, even the most advanced reasoning m…
