I worry that by not embracing AI now, I risk getting left behind in tomorrow's technology. Like the way my dad could never set the timer on the video recorder. :lol:
I used to use one of the worlds 1st internet search engines. You had to communicate with a header prompt in your "email" although email not as we now know it.

Had a great time learning all the in & outs of how to control it & get it to perform specific requests.

And then the www came along with slick interfaces and you no longer needed any technical expertise to communicate with a search engine.

==> Learn the detail now at the risk it will become redundant later?

I'd go for the learning now as who knows where it will lead )

Once it becomes "user friendly" you lose a lot of control unless you know the detail of how it works & can bypass it.

Agreed, the risk of wasted resources is offset by the potential upside, so ideally another +EV tradeoff

In the TPD example it shouldn't even be an option for traders that main racing, being oblivious to market changes is only asking for trouble and borders on irresponsible/unprofessional

For example I quite like this AI use case from Matthew McConaughey in this YT short : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Hcg6dX5AjgI

Because we kinda indirectly learn about ourselves through the market but this is a much more direct route (you just can't have it use the agreeable sycophant profile or you might end up with a big echochamber, so it has to challenge you)

Akin to a personal secretary that knows your habits and likes/dislikes etc, but obviously goes far beyond that

I dunno, there are things a personal secretary can do far beyond what AI can do! ;)
