Fortunately, not all investments are based purely on technical analysis for short run gains.

Even the ones that are, are basically a poker game between at least two intelligences, and AI is notoriously not that good at poker. There are plenty of stories about human vs AI poker players to google for where the AI either loses miserably or under weirdly limited circumstances merely loses significantly.

The computers do beat human when the game is intentionally played too fast for humans to physically / biochemically keep up (HFT) and humans usually destroy algos for long term (admitted or not insider trading or line of business expertise). The only really interesting timescale is the daytrader/poker player.
