ChatGPT and Stochastic Calculus: Martingale

[Win_odd Dhamnekar]

If Mn is a square integrable martingale with respect to $\{\mathcal{F}_n\}$ and $$\overline{M}_n =max\{|M_0|,..., |M_n|\}$$
then show that for every a > 0, $$\mathbb{P} \{\overline{M}_n \geq a \} \leq a^{-2} \mathbb{E}[M^2_n]$$
ChatGPT gave me the following answer:



In my opinion, It is correct.

In my opinion, [ChatGPT] is correct.

Hi DW. You were not surprised by that, I presume.

That particular approach could occur many times, in the "vast public corpus of human-generated text" accessed by ChatGPT (for modeling responses).
