Investors Made It The Age Of AI.

Their money sways the market, and the market sways our everyday lives.

You’re sitting on your desk, scratching your head while staring at the screen. It’s been 15 minutes, and you’ve tried dozens of prompts, hoping GPT4 will write you a killer email.

You try one last prompt, sip your matcha latte while it generates, and check the results.

“Perfect…” You’re satisfied. Or at least as satisfied as you can be when getting AI to do your bidding. “Now, Just a few tweaks here, plug my signature …. sent!”

There are millions of other people, like you, who are using AI in their daily life, their work, or just for fun, and like you, they’re probably questioning their life choices too:

• Your cousins are almost certainly using ChatGPT to help with homework.
• Your neighbour probably used Canva’s magic tools to design something, despite swearing by their ‘design skills’.
• I’ll bet that someone you know chats with Pi — an AI focused on natural and empathetic conversations — more frequently than they’ll admit.

There’s no denying that AI is becoming deeply embedded in the lives of so many.

We’re seeing it happen right before your eyes.

What we don’t see, however, is the group of tall men in suits — sitting in a penthouse office with huge windows overlooking the cityscape. One stands up and lights a cigar.

“Gentlemen…”

“I think the results of our investments are truly in motion. Perhaps it’s time for phase 2…”

They begin to laugh sinisterly as the screen fades to black.

Okay, on a serious note, I don’t think we’re all victims in a plot concocted by a James Bond villain (I hope). But we should acknowledge that our everyday life is influenced by the investment decisions of people much richer than we are.

Recently, many of those decisions have been centred around AI.
