AI stock-picking test yields mixed results on UK dividends for ISAs
Harvey Jones uses ChatGPT to identify FTSE stocks with 7%+ yields for a UK ISA; the bot highlights Phoenix Group, M&G and Taylor Wimpey but relies on outdated data, while Ithaca Energy and Bluefield Solar Income Fund are flagged as less reliable. Actual yields have moved (Phoenix ~7.3%, M&G ~6.8%, Taylor Wimpey ~8.7–9.2%), and Jones warns that very high yields can be volatile or unsustainable. He still sees potential in the three names with a long-term view but emphasizes doing his own research rather than trusting a bot.
