I have real trouble buying this. On the one hand maybe most people don’t think and just deferring to AI makes better decisions. Maybe the kind of people in important decision making posts at a $10B hedge fund have the discipline not to outsource their thinking to an LLM (when not appropriate).

But I would be shocked if a few years from now we don’t start seeing some analysis/studies/articles talking about how decision making in companies is sort of coalescing around an AI “median” opinion.

Also, it seems inevitable that some set of Hedge Funds will lose existential amounts of money using AI wrong.
