Recently, several platforms have hosted trader PK competitions, and it has become quite popular — but the results are quite shocking — seasoned traders relying on experience and intuition are almost powerless in front of AI. AI drives decisions with data and models, which is a crushing blow compared to traditional traders' manual operations. Seeing this, I started pondering a question: will everyone having their own AI investment manager come sooner than we imagine?

It does make sense. In high-volatility, information-dense markets like crypto assets, AI's advantages are even more apparent. It can monitor the market 24/7, process massive amounts of data instantly, and execute emotionless trading decisions. Human traders' emotions, fatigue, cognitive biases... these are all flaws in front of AI.

Perhaps in the near future, AI investment assistants will become as common as the apps we use today. By then, the professional trader's job description might need to be completely rewritten.

Saw this at 3 AM... I laughed at the part where veteran traders were being beaten down, but what's really interesting is—how much arbitrage opportunity can AI calculate from DEX liquidity depth data? That's the key.

Old traders get beaten by AI, hilarious. Next month, do I also have to lose my job?

Bro, this BP is way too optimistic. I've heard the AI winning over traders argument many times... The real question is, who will take responsibility for AI's decisions? --- Honestly, I believe in 24-hour monitoring, but emotionless decision-making? Haha, let's see how it chooses at the moment of a real crash. --- Everyone gets an AI investment manager? First, let me see the track record of those smart investment advisors now. --- Dimensionality reduction is effective, but the problem is that data itself has lag... Not everything can be modeled. --- I still think AI is overestimated, and the market's magical nature is underestimated. Especially in crypto. --- Uh, this is like saying autonomous driving will be widespread soon... Technically feasible ≠ Market reality. --- Within the system, traders will definitely face reshuffling, but wild trading teams are still thriving.
