Disturbingly often I hear acquaintances planning to invest into some AI-driven investment strategy, trading for them stocks, crypto, and currencies. On a trip abroad they met this chilled friendly guy who used to work in London/Singapure/Zurich, now he is retired and helps others retire too. They simply "trust AI" and "trust that friend".
