I just don't see the value prop for LLM for financial markets specifically but I guess I'm not familiar with the workflows of analysts.

"Backtest this for me"

"Analyze this"

"Find a pattern"

"Beat the market"

I'd imagine the main use case is to whitewash insider trading signals ...
Your imagination is pretty bad then
Reading tons of reports, no?

  Reading != Understanding
Sure. I'm not saying it's a good idea. It was a glaring omission from the provided list.
It is an excellent idea - the first useful LLM most in finance have / will interact with is to throw the 1000's of daily reports into a vector database and query against that.

"Whats the consensus in todays research about AAPL?" Out comes a distilled report with clickable links back to the ai slop Goldmans et al sent out this morning.

A summary with links back to AI slop is a _useful_ outcome? Why?
