We have this problem in Computer Science as well, where randomly picking objects performs just as well, if not better, than a some logical huristic or algorithm. Most notably in cache eviction. When the cache is full, how do you pick what to evict, given incomplete knowledge of the future? There are various algorithms, evicting the least recently used - LRU - object being one popular one. It's often beat in benchmarks by an algorithm that randomly selects an object to evict though.
Still, BloombergGPT has knowledge far in excess of a monkey, and if it's anything like ChatGPT, is able to provide reasoning as to how it arrived that that conclusion. Time will tell if, granted a brokerage account, how it will perform relative the market. It may or may not outperform a monkey throwing darts.
