> LLM's can actually be exceptionally good at research and pattern recognition, i.e. analysis.

Sure but knowing where to start research is also a problem. Just saying “do research” isn’t going to work even with volumes of public information.

Well said. Lots miss this key point and it’s what I mean by alpha. Where to start, what the angle is, and LLM can help develop though I would of course argue it’s a fools errand with how crowded the space is but you could still develop an idea but it’s not going to create the idea for you.
Yeah if you have an actual really good idea for a certain kind of under analyzed data that could give you an edge but it would take too much effort or time to compile or analyze the data, an LLM has potential to make a viable strategy out of an otherwise correct but unuseful insight
