Hot take from someone building in this space: AI shouldn't predict markets, it should explain them
Disclosure, I build an AI market analysis tool, so I have a horse in this race.
Everyone building AI for investing seems to chase prediction, and that's exactly where these tools fall apart, an LLM can't tell you what happens tomorrow and pretending it can is how the space got its reputation. What LLMs are genuinely elite at is reading, a thousand headlines, filings, the tape, and telling you in plain English what's actually going on and why the names you hold are moving. Explanation, not prediction.
Curious where this sub lands. Would you actually use AI for explanation, or is prediction the only thing that would move the needle for you? What would it need to show you before you trusted it with context on your own portfolio?
